This all above means to me creating interiors - projects I have done for dekades.

Born and educated in the Czech Republic, and presently living in Prague. In my early 20's I went to live in Australiaand worked for Australia's international airline QANTAS. I also started my design business constructing, reconstructingand landscape and interior design.My last project has been in Prague. An apartment in a mid-19th Century building which required a major overhaul. Thedesign brief required a gutting of unoriginal additions and a restoration to original layout with inclusions of contemporary facilities--bathrooms and kitchen.

On a smaller scale I have completed two other apartments--one in Prague and another in Teplice.While in Australia, I have had projects with three apartments and a 19th Century terrace house--all in Sydney, and aproperty south of Sydney in the NSW Southern Highlands. The brief for this country property required designing classical "parterre-style" and less formalgardens to be laid out. The home design was for opening up the house and major sympathetic additions for garaging, a pavillion-style wing, in fitting withthe style of the existing plans.All of my projects have been executed with precision, style and a beauty that is visible from all directions--be it fromthe bedrooms, a courtyard or from the far reaches of the landscaped gardens.
