„We take city and nature with equal portion and equal importance, and let them be parallel. Then sophistication of contemporary urbanity and extreme naturalness are next to each other and at the same time. Also the new density appears, which does not depend on density of people or programs. Careful observation of city and nature has led us into understanding that they share the rule.
Our production includes study of ecological houses, several town plannings, designs of public spaces (streets, parks, squares), housing projects. We have carried through various workshops and training courses of creative environment. Besides we are observing surroundings through the lens – gathering subtle associations of man and nature.“
