He moved to Warsaw in 1903 and was admitted professor of applied arts in Warsaw School of Fine Arts (1905-1907).[2]

His further works included: Mikołaj Szelechow's tenement house in Warsaw (1904, with Stanisław Grochowicz),[1] Church of Saints Simon and Helena in Minsk,[2][6] churches in Lubraniec (1905-1906)[3] and Grabów (built in 1907-1913, destroyed during the Second World War),[6] chappel and manor house in Fajsławice. He also worked on renovation of gothic church in Brześć Kujawski.[4][3]
