During his student years, Slavko Löwy absorbed a wealth of impressions while studying in three different cities. He graduated in Dresden in 1930, at a moment when early Modernism was reaching its height. Afterward, he worked briefly in several offices, including that of Stanko Kliska. In 1931, he opened his own architectural practice, which remained active until 1942. Due to his Jewish origin he had to move out of his apartment and office in Masarykova Street 22. All his work and documents were destroyed.
In Zagreb, he emerged as one of the most productive and forward-thinking architects of the 1930s.
After the Second World War, he worked for various state agencies and, beginning in 1950, developed numerous urban planning projects in Skopje, Macedonia. In 1953 he returned to Zagreb, living again on the top floor of Zagreb's first skyscraper until his death in 1966.
