He also works internationally in countries like France, Belgium, USA, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kenya, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Russia. From his point of view, based on the twenty-year experience in architectural projects, it’s necessary to design with compositional and technological criteria handed down by tradition. The intention to build “old time houses” with all the comforts of modern homes, give to his projects the value of permanence, of things that last forever, which know how to age and which can be passed on to future generations.
The architect is also passionate about oriental carpets that he collects and exhibits next to his studio, at “Ushak-Atelier of Wonders”. USHAK is a workshop where you can find a new and wonderful production of objects from the past, disappeared from our houses and rarely preserved in museums.
