In 1909 he returned to Bohemia and collaborated in decorating numerous architectural projects in Prague (decorations for the Hotel Palace facade, the Municipal House, the former Franz Josef Train Station building) and outside the city (Augustinian Monastery refectory in Brno, the Marian Chapel at Svatá Hora/Příbram).
