job

After completing his architecture studies in Saint Petersburg in 1850 , his work brought him to the Russian governorate of Bessarabia . There he devoted himself to several lavish buildings in the then small town of Chișinău , including the Biserica Sfîntul Pantelemon ( Grecească - the Greek church) and the St. Teodora de la Sihla Cathedral and thus shaped the cityscape to this day.

After 1878, he moved his professional focus to Odessa , where he shaped the cityscape with a large number of buildings. The designs for the Invalidenhaus (1886/87), the new stock exchange (1894/99), the trading house Petrokokino (1895/96), the Hotel Bristol (1898/99) and the medical clinic (1901/04) came from him. The reconstruction of the main train station and the opera also took place under his direction.
