About Us

Welcome to Archi-tetka, where expert architecture meets the warmth and fun of family. Our name cleverly combines the Serbian word arhitekta, meaning ‘architect’, with tetka, meaning ‘aunt’. This blend captures our dual approach: designing with the precision and expertise of skilled architects while bringing the nurturing and spirited vibe of a beloved, fun aunt. At Archi-tetka, we don’t just design spaces; we create environments that are as enjoyable and comforting as a visit to your favorite relative’s home—spaces that invite you to relax, have fun, and truly be yourself. Each design is a reflection of individuality, crafted to enhance both the community and personal joy of those who inhabit them.

About

Where Design Meets Vitality Discover a place where architecture isn’t just built, it’s crafted to heal and inspire.

Welcome to where architecture meets personalized wellness. Mia Calic, our founder, doesn’t just design spaces; she creates environments that reflect the soul of each project. With deep expertise in architecture and a passion for homeopathic principles, Mia engages with each client to deeply understand their spatial needs, whether for individual users or groups. Her designs promote functionality, tailored not only to match style but also to entrance the unique energies needed by the occupants.

Mia Calic, a Master of Architectural Studies, infuses every design with a deep-seated passion for homeopathy, inherited from her mother, a practicing homeopath. Having worked internationally with renowned names like Alison Brooks and Emir Kusturica, and in the GTA across diverse projects from quaint cottages to soaring highrises, Mia brings a wealth of experience to her unique design approach. By integrating knowledge of homeopathic remedies into material, texture, and color decisions, Mia creates spaces that are not just aesthetically pleasing but are tailored to enhance wellbeing.

Mia’s approach to design is deeply influenced by her understanding of homeopathy, particularly how the selection of materials and colors can impact the energy and health of a space. Each material, such as Oak or Bamboo, carries unique energies that can significantly affect the ambiance and feel of an environment. This sensitivity to material energies allows Mia to create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also energetically aligned with the occupants’ health and well-being. By delving into the ‘soul of the project,’ Mia ensures that each design is as unique as the individuals or business that will inhabit it.

Homeopathic example

Oak as a Homeopathic Remedy

In homeopathy, Oak is represented by the remedy Quercus Robur, and it’s known for its strong, resilient qualities. Here’s how the character of Oak, as understood in homeopathy, might be applied to design:

  • Strength and Endurance: Oak in homeopathy is typically associated with individuals who are strong, reliable, and endure despite challenges. They are often the backbone in situations, providing support and stability. In design, incorporating Oak can convey a sense of durability and steadfastness, making it ideal for spaces that require a feeling of security and timelessness.
  • Restorative and Nourishing: Oak is also considered in scenarios where there is a need for rejuvenation and recovery, symbolizing its capacity to support and nourish. In interior design, using Oak can help create environments that are comforting and healing, perfect for spaces intended for rest and recuperation like bedrooms or relaxation areas.
  • Deep Roots and Stability: Just as the Oak tree is known for its deep roots, the homeopathic remedy suggests characteristics of deep-seated stability and groundedness. This trait can be beautifully mirrored in design by using Oak in foundational elements of a space, such as flooring, paneling, or furniture, providing a grounded and solid base upon which other design elements can interact.
  • Majestic and Inspiring: Oak trees are often seen as majestic and inspiring due to their size and longevity. This can translate into a design aesthetic that aims to inspire awe and respect, suitable for formal spaces or areas where a strong impression is desired, such as entryways or corporate offices.

Integrating Oak into architectural and interior designs, considering these homeopathic traits, not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also imbues the space with qualities that may support the emotional and psychological well-being of its occupants. This approach exemplifies the holistic integration of natural elements into human spaces, aligning physical environments with deeper human needs and energies.
