He started collaborating with architecture and design magazines and introduced himself to the m...

"The architecture of George Nikolajevich exhibits a remarkable balance between restraint and expression. Working in St. Louis-far from the country's coasts of architectural fashion-and often limited to a conservative palette of materials, he has created a body of work that delivers modernist lan and formal invention.

It is generally agreed that the first recorded mention of Terenure came in 1216, when Hugh de Barnewall was granted the lands of Terenure and Kimmage. Over the next 800 years, this townland reshaped itself throughout the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and grew to be the bustling metropolitan suburb it is today.
