Profile
Drawing up programms for creation of environments as well as monumental wall paintings and product design. The main item for the design practice is based on the idea that artists and architects work closely together throughout the whole design process.
An environment should not only be attractive, but should also express architectonic, artistic and social concepts. A building should mirror an organization's philosophy and objectives, translating its culture into a visual design language. Pictures and sculptures should beoome an integral part of the total creation, giving a building or envivironment a symbolic value and identity.
