FRANTIŠEK DORKO
As an architect and interior designer with over 15 years of experience, I have worked on diverse projects ranging from public architectural competitions, building studies, and construction designs to custom interior design projects and complex building renovations. My strength lies in merging creative artistic vision with ingenious technical solutions.
I master the full spectrum of design processes and have extensive experience in project coordination and author supervision. I enjoy experimenting with concepts, new materials, and technologies. After carefully listening to and considering clients' needs, I seek original and unconventional solutions that integrate aesthetic value with functionality at a reasonable cost.
I graduated from the Slovak University of Technology – Faculty of Architecture and Design in 2009. Throughout my career, I've collaborated with architectural studios like ARCHILAB and GRESLING, as well as the company BRIK, where I learned the true meaning of quality craftsmanship and meticulously detailed interior execution. I now apply these skills in my daily practice, though I remain a lifelong learner – and always will be.
