There is nothing more timely than the timeless.

Allan Strus Architects was established in 1999. The staff consists of 6 people. Our projects include mostly private houses and residences, but we also deal with restoration projects, detailed plans and building supervision.

We believe that built environment should enrich the environment surrounding us, harmonize with it, depart from local customs and traditions instead of shocking the observer. We also think that buildings should tell their users and watchers about their essence and birth as well as about their owners. We hold that buildings and entire built environment should be beautiful and elegant, not ostentatious and arrogant. We hold that harmony and beauty of buildings must be clearly understood also when we are gone, not only in the perspective of a short-time trend. We are convinced that buildings must be physically and visually solid and durable, that they must certainly last longer than for one human generation, because this is the only way to restate the consistency and transmission of man-made values from one preceding generation to the following. Moreover, such kind of buildings help the observer and user to identify oneself with a particular place and its builders, create a link between past, present and future and call for stability of manmade values.

Therefore we depart from traditional and classical architecture and try to combine it with local customs, circumstances and specific requirements as well as with latest technology. We believe in consistency of traditions and vitality of classical values precisely because they are essentially not derived from trends but stem from technical, logical and aesthetic solutions-tectonics- formulated by centuries long experience of mankind and easily adjust to changing needs and demands of a specific period.

We hope that attached overview of our works helps you to understand the above mentioned principles and leads to a pleasant co-operation.
