In quest for creating spaces compatible with the essence of nature and human beings, and using new technologies and innovative, compatible materials, in order to improve the quality of spaces for the man of today and future

In my studio, we are working on the development of responsible local architecture in Prague by focusing on projects of all dimensions (from houses to large urban and transport projects).

I am a founding member of the Czech Architects Without Borders Association focusing on socially sustainable architecture, which is part of an international network Architects Sans Frontières. 

My architectural focus is developing concepts using contemporary methods, theories, and programs, while  researching them throughout all architectural phases that transfer the ideas to reality.

I am an architect and interior designer, reasearching the theme of biological materials in architecture.

Architecture is a chance we have to make a better future. Creating spaces, ambience that reflect emotions, beauty, function and comfort.
