First of all, I’m an architect – the person who’s the creator, executor, manager, and the biggest self-judge) interior design is only one of the many aspects of my work.
Do you have a favorite project or a favorite story about one of your projects?
First of all, I always in touch with my colleagues, not only in Ukraine but also from all around the world. Every self-respecting specialist should be aware of their colleague’s’ work. Also, nowadays there are a lot of architecture sites and app like Pinterest. And the most enjoyable way is traveling. When you can see and fell the atmosphere in its original surroundings

I follow the modern trends through specialized websites and literature, also through international architecture/construction exhibitions.
How would you describe your work style? Do you have any kind of “signatures” that may help to identify your projects?
I’d call it – functional eclecticism. I like to mix materials and textures , but at the same time, I never choose the beauty instead of functionality. Because on of the main architect purpose is to create convenient and comfortable space for life. And nowadays architects doing for the sake of creation, forgetting that they work for the human beings.

If I was lucky to choose any project, I would have worked with the building of the Museum of Modern Art or some kind of cultural center. Also, I’d like to design and develop social objects. I would like to have the opportunity to choose any country and build their schools, hospitals, and development centers. I would be happy to deal with this if I had access to permanent financing

There are a lot of them. Just can’t list everyone. But I also like the custom products!
