What Gartner Architects does

Gartner arhitekti d.o.o. (trading as Gartner Architects, branded on its website as 'Gartner Lifecycle Architecture') is a privately held Slovenian architectural services firm headquartered in Ljubljana - Črnuče. Founded around 2007 and operating under the current name since a March 2019 rebrand from KošorokGartner arhitekti d.o.o., the firm runs with a core team of six named professionals (Jernej Gartner, Brigita Gartner, Mateja Rogelj, Domen Gjergek, Maša Malgaj, Urška Gregorič) plus contributing architect Anže Kumar. It provides architectural design for public and private buildings of all sizes, with particular depth in pharmaceutical and biotech facilities, high-end residential, commercial/industrial, and heritage renovation projects.

The firm's core technology is a full-lifecycle Autodesk Revit-based BIM workflow adopted since 2010, covering all Slovenian project phases from idejna zasnova (IZP) through to projekt izvedenih del (PID), with 4D construction sequencing and 5D cost control piloted on projects and 6D BIM models delivered for facility management (YouBIM YCC Certified Consultant status, COBie data standards). Supporting tooling includes Enscape, Twinmotion, Navisworks, Adobe Creative Suite, and VR walkthroughs via Oculus Rift HMD. Sustainable-design credentials are anchored in a DGNB certificate, USGBC membership (since 2017), and LEED-compliant pharmaceutical project experience, with a focus on low-energy, passive house, and nZEB buildings.

The business model is professional services on a project-based, quote-based pricing structure with no public pricing tiers. Revenue derives from architectural design fees, BIM consulting, interior design, renovation supervision, and construction supervision across two primary verticals — pharmaceutical/life sciences (Novartis, Sandoz/Lek, Krka, Sartorius BIA Separations) and private residential developers/homeowners — plus secondary verticals in commercial/industrial (Messer, Petrol, Lidl, TRAC, ByRokko), hospitality (Hotel Milka), and public/cultural heritage work (Pionirski dom, Knežji dvorec Celje). Client acquisition is sales-led and reputation-driven, leveraging an award-winning portfolio (BigSee 2023, LOOP Design Award 2023, Plečnik Medal, Green Pencil), international editorial coverage, conference presence (BAU Munich, Salone del Mobile, siBIM), and direct referrals, with no third-party distribution channels or marketplace presence.
