My architectural focus is the exploration of the relationship between social cohesion and architectural design, with a specific focus on projects that enable community building and shared spaces. I am especially interested in the manner in which design can foster inclusive and resilient environments through urban agriculture infrastructure, adaptive reuse, and centers of research and innovation. My research seeks to integrate architectural solutions with social and environmental needs, leveraging design as a tool for connecting people, enabling local economies, and encouraging collective engagement in transitional and underutilized urban spaces.

Zaměřuji se na rezidenční stavby menšího měřítka a také převážně na interiéry. Jak novostavby, tak rekonstrukce v rezidenčním sektoru, ale i v hotelovém a gastro odvětví. Na svém Youtube kanálu Let's be architects se zaměřuji na témata studia architektury a začátku kariéry, kde vycházím nejen ze svých zkušeností, ale v sérii rozhovorů O architektech, se snažím ptát na otázky ohledně studia (nejen) v zahraničí a začátcích kariéry i jiných architektů.
