His most famous works are the Skopje Shopping Center (GTC), Pensioner's Home in Ohrid, and the reconstructed Culture Center "Grigor Prlichev" in Ohrid. The City Commercial Center Building(known as by the acronym GTC), also known as the Skopje Shopping centre, connects the two core aspects of Kenzo Tange's earthquake reconstruction Plan for Skopje): the City Gate and the City Wall.
