About us


Pentas Reka - The Creative Platform/Stage


Architecture is the setting or platform for the celebration of the art of living.


At Pentas Reka - the creative platform or the stage for creativity - the platform is set for the production of planning, urban design, architecture, interior design, product design, graphic design, writing,... and more.


The art of living is played out by various actors (clients, architects, planners, designers, consultants, authorities, contractors, suppliers, students,...) on this platform.


The platform supports and nurtures the actors, props, lights and music, ... that is, the entire production. It is neutral. It is real yet imaginary. It is limited yet finite. It is past, present, and future.


We dance, sing, and act on this "pentas" or stage of creative production. And in the process, create more platforms/settings to creatively support the art of living in the form of master planning, urban design, architecture, interiors, products, and writings,...


We want to make the world a better place through design in our productions in planning, architecture, interior design, product design,... and through the practice in business, management, and operation.


Every line that we draw, every word that we say or write, everything that we build, every cent that we spend, every one that joins the company, every encounter with another human beings or things,... all contribute to making the world a better place - a better stage for the art of living.
