The architecture makes sense along the route:
Every decision builds a step,
Each material opens up a possibility .
Each work reveals a process.
We work on projects ranging from private residences to hotels, restaurants, schools, and communal spaces.
We offer a comprehensive architecture and design approach, working closely with our clients to bring their vision to life in alignment with our philosophy of sustainability and contemporary design. We accompany each project through all its phases, ensuring a clear, cohesive, and well-structured process.
PROCESSES
Master Plan
& Conceptual Design
We analyze the site in depth—its geography, climate, history, and resources—to fully understand its opportunities and constraints.
We study the sun’s path, prevailing winds, and thermal variations throughout the year. We observe access points, strategic views, and existing vegetation.
Based on this information, we develop a comprehensive understanding of the land, allowing clients to clearly see its potential and the best ways to intervene.

Phase
We are a multidisciplinary team that brings attention and care to every stage of the project. We collaborate with a wide range of construction professionals to ensure a coordinated process and a coherent, efficient, high-quality outcome.
Founder and director of Praag Studio.
After completing his studies and practicing for several years in urban environments, he felt increasingly distant from traditional architecture and embarked on a personal and professional journey of exploration.
Along the way, he met communities, mentors, and experiences that revealed other ways of living and building—more conscious, more human, and more connected to the environment.
This path led him to discover bamboo, a material that transformed his vision through its beauty, environmental qualities, rapid regeneration, and structural potential.
He trained with various specialists around the world and began exploring the creative possibilities of natural materials as a way toward a more responsible and living architecture.
Today, that search continues in every project—a creative process uniquely crafted for each place.
His trajectory gives shape to the philosophy behind Praag Studio.
