WORK WITH US

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We like to create something new and see the result of our work. Watching the happy faces of our clients, how their lives improve after moving to a new home, how their lifestyle changes

We take great pleasure in creating comfortable homes filled with atmosphere and coziness, convenience and warmth. We think through the space, make it functional, pay attention to detail in repairs and decoration. Clients say that we create houses and interiors "for life" and not "for pictures"

By choosing us, you get peace of mind and confidence, as well as a guarantee that everything we agreed on at the very beginning of our journey will be fulfilled and brought to life, because as one great philosopher said: Per aspera ad Astra! What does it mean: through effort to victory (through thorns to the stars)

HOW WE ARE WORKING?

1

We solve problems that one person cannot handle
Our personal values have created a broad approach to interior design and architecture. We implement our design projects independently, and also cover all stages of low-rise design (from sketch to executive documentation). You won’t have to look for individual contractors to get a house design, doubt the quality of their work and explain the nuances of your project. You get all related contractors in one place, where the author of the project takes everything into account in the final decision, as well as a reliable team of builders led by Andrey, thanks to which you can quickly and efficiently resolve all issues related to construction. In addition, you get a database of manufacturing suppliers who will carry out your plans with minimal questions to you

We meet the client personally
When addressing us, we meet and talk personally, as well as cooperate inside the project and renovation. We are involved in the process and are committed to creating a comfortable collaboration with you. You know to whom you can contact or ask questions, consult in decision making, get a recommendation from experience

We are interested in the end result, so we finish what we started
The result of our work is the photography of the object with a professional stylist and photographer invited to it, in order to place the resulting material in various editions, to complement their own portfolio, participate in all kinds of competitions and thereby confirm their level of professionalism and competence in the field of design and repair
4

We personally participate in all stages of the project implementation
The client understands who is responsible for the project and who is responsible for its implementation. There are main authors who make key decisions and can guide the project and implementation in the right direction. As a result, the client receives a holistic interior concept created for him, and a decent quality of repair work
5

We treat project documentation with care
Thinking about those who will continue to work with our projects. So, creating the project, the team of designers led by Olga, always thinks and takes care that it is to be implemented by a team of builders led by Andrei and that it is necessary to do everything so that there is not a single issue, or minimize them. Give the most complete information by checking several times for errors. After all, project implementation is as important to us as development

OUR VALUES

Our projects are for people. We put the wishes of our clients first and help create comfort and a cozy atmosphere in their homes
We are open to everyone
Honesty and integrity
Caring for those who interact with us
Customer trust
