In 2016 the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO) in Ljubljana published a book on their work titled “Home by dekleva gregoric architects”.

dekleva gregorič architects understand architectural design as a process of research and a response to specific constrains and conditions. Each project is an individual and unique case. Conditions can appear in various forms as spatial, social, material, historical, typological, climatic etc. dekleva gregorics aim is always to challenge the obvious.
