ABOUT


Nailya is an architect with thirteen years of experience. She has spent much of her career designing large-scale architecture and practising urban planning, mostly working on projects of residential areas, schools, kindergartens, and theatres. She has expertise in guiding projects from conception to completion through collaborative eorts with engineers, contractors, and suppliers.

For the past 5 years, Nailya has specialised in smaller-scale projects, including interiors and furniture. Working with this scale allows her to develop integral projects, where every aspect of the environment, ranging from the smallest furniture detail to the vegetation positioned in front of the building's facade, serves as a part of a unied concept.

Nailya, as an architect, sees her purpose in creating spaces that inspire a feeling of comfort and belonging. She believes that achieving this reuires a deep understanding of how the human senses are intimately connected to the textures, ergonomics, lighting, temperature, and acoustics of a space. Nailya seeks to weave together these sensory elements into a harmonious whole.

Nailya deeply appreciates the rened simplicity and clarity of Japanese design that evokes a sense of peacefulness and reverence for nature. Japanese architecture's tranuil aesthetics encourages Nailya to infuse her own designs with a balanced approach that echoes the natural world.
