Czigler, who died at the early age of 55, left the office in his care, as besides deserving his ultimate confidence as a professional, Dvo\u0159\u00e1k was also a close friend of his. After the death of his superior, Dvo\u0159\u00e1k spent the majority of his years on completing buildings designed by Czigler, and did not even ask for payment for is plans, or gave itt o the bachelor\u2019s heirs apparent, that is his sister\u2019s and niece\u2019s family. What we regard his most famous work is Sz\u00e9chenyi Baths, which is a joint project with K\u00e1lm\u00e1n Gerster, and is a result of another project started by Czigler in 1884. Dvo\u0159\u00e1k also completed palaces of courts of law in S\u00e1toralja\u00fajhely, Fiume and Nagyszeben, the Palatine Joseph Sanatorium in Gyula, several tenement palaces in Budapest, St Martin of Tours cathedral in Munk\u00e1cs, the museum of J\u00e1nos Arany Memorial Assocation in Nagyszalonta, the remodelling of the County Hall in Nyitra, the extension of St Stephen\u2019s church in S\u00e1toralja\u00fajhely and he also contributed to the final designs of the Physics pavillion of the Technical University in L\u00e1gym\u00e1nyos and the museum in Szombathely.
