The international architecture studio Bucholz McEvoy Architects, with offices in Berlin and Dublin, is one of the world’s leaders in sustainable design, focusing primarily on reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs and extending the life of buildings.

Klaudia Cacic joined Bucholz McEvoy Architects in 2004 and is responsible for project management and business development, as well as the day-to-day organisation of the office and the integration of environmental and engineering factors into the design process.
Among other things, she is currently leading the Samuel Beckett Civic Campus and Ballyogan Environmental Depot projects. Klaudia works as a project architect and has supervised projects such as Elmpark, a commercial and residential neighborhood in Dublin consisting of a hospital, hotel, and commercial and residential neighborhood. The project was completed in 2008.

Before joining Bucholz McEvoy Architects, she worked for several years in Germany for a company specializing in architecture, urban planning, and historic preservation. She also has experience in the redevelopment and reuse of former industrial sites.

She recalls her first visit to the green Elmpark neighborhood, which at the time was an 8-hectare field next to the Sisters of Mercy convent in Dublin’s prestigious embassy district. That was in 2004. She visited the site with the site manager and notes that the whole situation could not have been more Irish: “It was very difficult for me to imagine that this location would become a lively, yet still green, urban district in just a few years.”
