by its purpose, yet the room can be shaped to create a high quality and safe interior. Employees of our clients will spend much time inside. The exteriors with parterres and green spaces must be part of the complex plan of the premises too. A developer must consider the relationship with the environment and social responsibility. Do you agree? D. Kastl: Absolutely. Developers shape and change the environment where people of the present and future generations will work and live. I believe that the politics of the 1990s with the motto of maximized profit and minimized responsibility has already become history with the total majority of developers. Unfortunately, that practice has left our enterprise branded with a poor

reputation even though many projects are of excellent quality and high sustainability. T. Jirků: Our company’s philosophy is to create buildings which will make us proud even decades later. We are very picky about the materials we use, their sustainability, energy and water management, the exterior solution, and the complex solution of the project. Our projects do not only respond to the needs of the here and now. We think ahead and consider the needs and progress which will come in the next ten to twenty years. Where the economics of a particular solution is questioned, this approach makes some decisions easier. Thank you for the interview. - editorial POSITIV 3/2019 ǀ 63
