A
rchitecture is the most realistic and practical art. Or at least that's what it should be. Sculpture which lives and changes with the environment and people in constant interaction, yet, remaining a constant value through centuries. It’s not only a pleasant balance of building design forms, functional arrangement of space, material chosen for the given character, harmonious color combination, circulations,  light, communications… it is the spirit of the owner, habits of people living in the building, their feelings, good and bad times, memories… Spirit which comes from the surrounding hills or mountains, trees, quiet countryside or crowded urban environments from the childhood.

The design is directly affected by the site and its surroundings, it breathes with it. It is reflected in outside appearance as well as the interior that borrows its character from all furnishing elements. It’s everything from an ashtray, through a curtain, carpet, bookshelf, sun catcher, everything from a picture frame to the painting in it.

It’s the music of the life lived in it.

As much as it all mirrors the proud owner, it's a masterpiece of the artist.
