Golub Architects Company and me, as the chief architect, have several focuses: firstly, it is a residential and commercial architecture (individual houses, apartment buildings, offices, cafes, restaurants, etc.); secondly, it is urban design; the third is the design of parks and recreational areas, landscape design. Also, now our company has a number of orders in a new field for us - these are memorial complexes (memorials are devoted to the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine).

Architecture as a tool to improve life and society. SoPA (Social Practice Architecture)

1. the human being is the cause of all the Earth problems, and at the same time, it is the solution to save it.
2. multi-tendency, multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity.
3. contemporary architecture: the creation of sustainable living spaces that meet human needs.
4. architectural heritage as a basis for architectural development.
   Heritage should not be an obstacle in the way of architectural creativity, but an element of inspiration and a lesson from the past.
