Hrvoje Njirić studied architecture at the University of Zagreb, and established njirić+njirić arhitekti in 1990 in Zagreb and Graz, with partner Helena Njirić. He gained acknowledgement in the 1990s with projects developed by njiric+njiric arhitekti, including schemes for Europan (3 first prizes) and Slovenian projects for Baumaxx and McDonalds which were widely published and awarded.
