Who we are
Alchemists of the possible
At Uživo, we believe that every space has the power to transform the lives of those who inhabit it.
Founded by Korina Krizmanić and Beatriz Vega, architects with a strategic vision and comprehensive approach, our firm takes its name from the Croatian "Uživo", which means "live" — a word that defines our way of creating, with authenticity, intention, and a real connection to each project. From Colombia, with an international outlook, we design residential and commercial spaces that integrate concept, functionality, and construction feasibility.
Every project strikes a balance between creativity and structure, between aesthetics and real execution.

Values
End-to-End Vision

Operational Efficiency and Precision We structure solid processes that guarantee control, quality, and compliance at each stage of the project.
International Adaptability We operate in different markets and contexts, maintaining identity, quality, and efficiency, adjusting to each client without losing structure.

What makes us
different?
At Uživo, we transform architecture into a buildable reality, not just an aesthetic intention. What sets us apart is a model where architecture, interior design, and furniture design are conceived from the same technical mindset, ensuring total coherence between what is designed and what is actually executed.
We don't just develop beautiful concepts — we develop projects that actually work on site. Our methodology eliminates the gap between design and construction, allowing us to plan, coordinate, and deliver spaces with precision, even remotely. This way, we guarantee that every decision — from layout to the last detail — follows a clear, efficient, and repeatable process, anywhere in the world.
