We are all a part of nature, what we take from nature needs to be returned back in a sustainable manner, it is challenging that's why we needs to be sensitive and design towards that. Depending on the context and circumstances you may face different challenges yet innovation should proceed reaching the set objectives. I believe this is the most futuristic idea for the planet earth !

Devoted to experimental architecture and competitions as well as architecture and interior design. Guidelines in my creative process are sustainability, energy efficiency, technology, simplicity and human, tailor-made approach. 

My focus is mainly on affordable educational buildings within a specific context.

My bigest aim is to rethink the architectural tradition.

The idea of Kenneth Framptons critical regionalism is close to me.

Architects should give useful answers to the challenge of environmental changes.

Most common projects in my practice: Housing, Schools, Kindergardens, Nurseries, Visitor Centers, Office buldings, Conference Center, Castle restaurations,

Contemporary architecture experiments with plenty of different styles, so you can even come across interesting blend of traditional and futuristic elements all contained in one building. We are living the 4th Industrial Revolution and the things are in movement this is a kind of challenge we need pay attention.
