ABOUT
I BELIEVE, THROUGH AN INTEREST IN FASHION, CONTEMPORARY CULTURE, AND TECHNOLOGIES - AS A RANGE OF TOOLS, A UNIQUE VISION OF ARCHITECTURE EMERGES AND OPENS UP ITS WIDE PERSPECTIVE.
ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN TODAY BECOME MORE EMOTIONAL AND DYNAMIC AND REFLECT CONSTANT CHANGES IN THE WORLD.

I WAS BORN IN MOSCOW IN A FAMILY WITH BOLIVIAN ROOTS, I WAS ALWAYS DRIVEN TO EXPLORE CULTURES AND MENTALITIES.

I GOT A STRONG CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION AT MOSCOW UNIVERSITY (MARHI) THAT FORMED ON FAMOUS ART FROM THE USSR. (2012-2016)
DURING THE MASTER AT THE INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED ARCHITECTURE IN BARCELONA (IAAC) I LEARNED COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE FIELD - TECHNOLOGIES, VIRTUAL REALITY, ROBOTIC DESIGN.

I HAD AN EXPERIENCE WORKING AS AN ARCHITECT IN THE WORLDWIDE FAMOUS STUDIO OF RICARDO BOFILL IN BARCELONA. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE PART OF THE BIG-SCALE PROJECTS IN CHINA, SAUDI ARABIA, AND EUROPE.

CURRENTLY, BASED IN MILAN WITH A PERSONAL PRACTICE, DRIVEN BY THE CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT, I STRIVE TO EXPLORE NEW VISIONS AND SHARE MY EXPERIENCE.

FURNITURE
OBJECT DESIGN / RETAIL
2023


As a Milan-based designer, I could not get past Il Salone del Mobile without adding my mite.

An Integration of a personal brand format into design and architecture is changing the perception of art. Although сhairs are often seen as humble, everyday items, the functional chair becomes an object of emotional value a one-of-a-kind, almost sculptural object, that reflects the story or vision of the artist.

This collection of furniture reflects the contradictions of the feminine, like the idea of a nowadays Twiggy, feminine and seductive and, more than ever, free and independent. / The bright spark that exists naturally on everyday occasions. /

Using these unconventional materials like latex, industrial metal, disco sequins, and colored rhinestones; and bringing them together in dialogue provides an interesting interplay and allows expression of the contrast between exotic spark and underground imperfection.

CONCEPT STORE
INTERIOR DESIGN / RETAIL
2022


Сoncept Store design project - inspired by industrial spaces, its structure, textures and hidden parts, such as metal pipes, wires and air ducts. The old parts of the existing structure are used as furniture, counters and clothing racks. Reused with a new function, keeping the industrial ambiance.

The Leed screen panel along the entire wall creates a spatial aesthetic and movement of reflections in contrast to the monochrome industrial design.

The result is an exclusive, functional space that boldly contrasts the simple design, with the color spectrum of the designer's pieces.

In this project, I have not bypassed my interest in the digital discipline, which I integrate into architecture and fashion. The store and online platform also features virtual collections of young designers, including our Vinyl collection.

INSTALLATION
EVENTS / RETAIL
2022


This installation tells a story through visual elements: light, reflections, shadows, contrast of textures, and a game of shapes.

In a simple industrial space, there is a substitution of concepts. Lengthwise screens imitate the sunset sky, reflecting on the surface of the earth.

/artificial sunset/

This aesthetic poses a hidden meaning of nowadays problems, creating a false sense of serenity.

This space also features a collection of metal chairs, that warps from a perfectly straight shape to a completely wrinkled junk. Each step of deformation has its own place and represents an idea of a false imperfection.

VINYL
DIGITAL COLLECTION / FURNITURE
2022


The Digital Furniture Collection - VINYL is an experimental project, which aimed to redefine an idea of physical and digital space.

The collection is driven by the study of physical properties in a virtual interpretation. My interest in fashion and photography is fully reflected in this project - the main subject of the collection is vinyl fabric in its context manner. Realistic renders are made in the style of magazines, with attention to the textures, colors, and multiple sources of light.

For the collection were selected simple objects of furniture: chair, armchair, sofa, and floor lamp.

I believe a combination of virtual tools with artistic directions creates an interesting field of opportunities to experience.
An artistic shooting, in collaboration with Milan-based photographer Edward Scheller, interprets the concept of the vinyl collection into a street-style environment.

SYMBOL FLAT
INTERIOR DESIGN / RESIDENTIAL
MOSCOW 2022

Symbol flat is an authentic apartment for rent in Moscow. The project was created in collaboration with the MANU Bureau (Ksenia Vaucheskaya and Valentina Gracheva )

The apartment was designed to be a rental property, so we were faced with the task of making the project within a limited budget. Furthermore, the design had to make a strong impression on potential tenants. The source of inspiration for us were the images of southern villas, ascetic and cozy at the same time.
The developer of the building has provided a good solution, so a complete redevelopment was not needed. At the beginning of the project, we came up with the idea of rounding the corners in some parts of the apartment, which added more softness to the geometry of the space.
To save the budget, we designed niches for standard wardrobes in the bedrooms draping the space above them with velvet curtains. As a result, we managed to transform the disadvantages of a limited budget into the highlight of our project. Having an average footage, the space turned out to be well planned and authentic.
The basis of the interior is a decorative beige plaster passing from the walls to the ceiling. The uneven texture of the material creates a perfect background for décor and furniture. The apartment is furnished with wooden tables and chairs, textured armchairs and textiles. The combination of the matte and glossy textures refreshes the calm finish.

In this project, we were giving a preference to young Russian designers and artists who are very competitive at the international level. The fluffy armchair in the living room is made by Manual mode, the laconic metal dining chairs are made by Delo design. A special place is given to the painting by Tima Illarionov.

APARTCOMPLEX
STUDIO OF RICARDO BOFILL
GEORGIA 2018

The project's main aim is to create sophisticated architecture and establish a healthy and ecological lifestyle in Georgia.

The residential and hotel complex, located on the Black Sea coast in Tsikhistdziri, Adjara Region, on a rather sharp relief, creates a multi-level landscape adapted structure. The complex consists of several types of residential units connected by green corridors at each level.
The middle part of the complex is united in a green public square with swimming pulls and a recreational area for visitors.


Brutal, sculpture-like architecture with geometric lines, symmetry and solid color facades create a special union of architecture and nature.

ROYAL ARTS COMPLEX
STUDIO OF RICARDO BOFILL
SAUDI ARABIA 2019

"From Art to Architecture" - Roal Complex in Saudi Arabia, designed to encourage people to explore Art in its different interpretations in the remarkably monumental landmark.

The Museum and the National Theatre are two distinct elements that emerge from the green horizontal ecosystem, two strong and sculptural magnets. The Museum has multiple itineraries, walks and places for visitors to ‘stay’, and even live with the works of Art. The interior space is a neutral “sequence of ecosystems for Art”, belonging to the greater ecosystem. Places to contemplate Art.
Originating from Riyadh, the Salmani style resonates throughout the complex, throughout the narrow street-like spaces, domes, colonnades, gallery spaces, articulating a “narrative space” that permeates to all public activities.
The pedestrian scheme is basically linear and walkable, essentially flat for comfort, with height of building generally never to surpass a dune height; colors originating from the desert, public spaces, streets, plazas,
and gardens undulating with a geometrical and organic composition and materiality.
