Bureau LADA is a loose collective with shared values and listening curiosity operating between Amsterdam, Zagreb, Cairo, and Tangier. Framing itself as a feminine spatial practice, the collective seeks spatial justice, social ecology, and inclusive design through projects in architecture, research, and education. Companions form shifting constellations are never complete yet remain connected.
The collective is founded by architect and researcher Lada Hršak, accompanied by Daniella, Doha, Igor, Juliette, Ludovica, Job, Josymar, Karim, Matej, Natali and Nermin. While grounded in local contexts Bureau LADA s work engages with the post-socialist Mediterranean, spatial glossaries and shallow-water ecologies, articulated through exhibitions and publications such as the award-winning Shallow Waters and Tangier Glossary.
Bureau LADA’s projects have been presented nationally and internationally at the Venice Architecture Biennale, African Crossroads, and IABR. In the Netherlands Bureau Lada was responsible for the scenography of the exhibition Shapeshifters: On Wounds, Wonders and Transformation (2025-2026) at Framer Framed in Amsterdam, and the design done for and in collaboration with IABR (International Architectre Biennale Rotterdam) edition of 2026.
