- Functionality – Form follows function
- Quality – we always push the client to implement as much as the budget allows quality rated materials and systems

So, I could say that my first job consisted in everything that might cross your mind related to architecture.
My first important job I had 1 year later, when I started to work for a German architecture studio based in Bucharest. That was the first time when I started to realize what being an architect really required. The projects were diverse, from small family houses to hospitals, for both Romania and Germany.
