Works

edit

In 1905–1921 he worked with his father Vasyl Nahirnyi in Lviv. Nahirnyi is the author of more than 500 residential, public, and church buildings in Western Ukraine.[1][2]

For the construction of houses in Lviv, Nahirnyi used the styles of neoclassicism and functionalism; for sacred buildings, he used Ukrainian Baroque and folk architecture. When designing wooden churches, he mainly developed the traditions of the Boyko school. Also, neo-historicism and modernism can be observed in Nahirny's works.[1][2]
