Ivana Bilic

I’m Ivana - architect by profession, nature-nerd by heart, powered by love, and mom to two little adventurers who inspired this whole journey. After years of living and working in the city, our family moved to rural Istria, where a simple wish for more time outdoors slowly grew into a project connecting children, nature, and design.

Besides my regular architectural work, I focus on creating educational spaces where kids learn by building, exploring, and discovering through direct, everyday contact with nature. Our forest classroom, Mediterranean garden, and bird observatory bring together my design background with a belief that hands-on experience shapes empathy, responsibility, and a lifelong connection to nature.
