Petokraka is an independent creative practice founded in Belgrade, Serbia, by architects Aleksa Bijelović and Milica Maksimović.

A place of spatio-visual explorations, interdisciplinary actions, and trans-disciplinary methodologies, Petokraka aims to construct new experiences by open interpretation and tangible outcomes — devising concepts and creating spaces, objects, and situations. The field of action spans interior architecture and adaptive reuse, exhibition design and spatial installations, object design, visual art, identity and graphic design.

Since 2004, Petokraka has had the tremendous support of a diverse team of collaborators, including graphic designers, architects, illustrators, photographers, and art historians.
