Mojca Kocbek, born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, graduated from the Faculty of Architecture, University in Ljubljana in year 2000. After she had completed her studies she acquired work experience in two architectural offices: Sadar Vuga architects and Bevk Perović architects in Ljubljana. Later she continued her studies at the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana, where in 2006 she obtained her Masters Degree in Set design/Scenography. Since then she has been working on architectural, interior/design projects and on set design.
In the sphere of architectural work she collaborates with different architects, depending on the type and size of the project and on the level of client's demand. Her architectural work ranges from middle-scale architectural projects: family houses, public spaces, renovation of old buildings and flats, interior design. In her projects she always places the individual experience of the user first, to unfold in as of yet unwritten stories in the newly built or renovated buildings. Set design is her other passion, testing her architectural skills in a different way, with different scale and different focus.
In 2019, she founded the architectural practice M.Kocbek architects, where she continues to tackle architectural and spatial challenges both individually and together with other architects and artists.

Mojca Kocbek, rojena v Ljubljani, Slovenija, je diplomirala na Fakulteti za arhitekturo na Univerzi v Ljubljani, leta 2000. Po končanem študiju je nekaj let pridobivala izkušnje v arhitekturnih birojih: Sadar Vuga arhitekti in Bevk Perović arhitekti v Ljubljani. Kasneje je svoj študij nadaljevala na Akademiji za gledališče, radio, film in televizijo, kjer je leta 2006 magistrirala iz scenografije. Od takrat deluje na področju arhitekture in gledališke scenografije.
Na področju arhitekture sodeluje z različnimi arhitekti, odvisno od naročnikove želje in vrste oz.obsega projekta. Njeno arhitekturno delo obsega enodružinske hiše, javne prostore, prenove hiš in stanovanj, oblikovanje razstav in notranjo opremo. V njenih projektih je vedno izhodiščni moment oblikovanja prostora - osebna izkušnja uporabnika, ki kasneje, s svojim načinom življenja, te prostore tudi sooblikuje. Scenografija je njena druga strast, pri kateri raziskuje prostor skozi drugačno merilo in fokus.
Leta 2019 je ustanovila arhitekturni biro M.Kocbek arhitekti, znotraj katerega nadaljuje z združevanjem arhitekturnih in umetniških praks.
