Kira founded her practice in 2016 after working for number of award-winning international architectural practices in London. She has completed her architectural degree in Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL) and has been ARB registered architect since 2013.
Through a series of high-profile design projects implemented in the UK, China, Russia and Abu-Dhabi, Kira has developed strong context-based design methodology. Kira's approach is always user-focused and innovative in design and technical terms. Having gained experience in a broad spectrum of schemes from large masterplans to individual homes, she seeks to bring efficiencies of large-scale projects into smaller ones while creating unique individuality even for large urban entities.
Kira's core specialisms lay in high-density residential, masterplanning and mixed-use sectors. She favours challenging sites and has experience in tackling flood zones, tight urban sites and sites with unorthodox planning constraints.

I had the pleasure of working with Kira on the transformation of my 3-bedroom flat interior to authentically reflect my personality. Despite the challenges presented by my intricate brief, I am genuinely amazed at Kira's ability to infuse my interests and true essence into the living space. She skillfully blended a bold, bright color scheme in the hallway with warm, textured, and earthy tones in both the bedroom and living area. Kira's design prowess also extended to crafting stunning bespoke furniture that perfectly complements the overall aesthetic. The space she created for me serves as my sanctuary, instilling a sense of strength and, after many years of feeling displaced following my departure from my home country, a genuine feeling of being at home. I wholeheartedly recommend Kira for her exceptional talent and ability to create spaces that resonate on a profound personal level.

We cannot recommend them enough!

They came highly recommended by another architect, and I'm truly grateful for the introduction to Kira. Throughout our collaboration, I eagerly anticipated her emails containing design concepts and developments, which never failed to bring joy. What stood out for me was her use of VR goggles to present the designs, making it incredibly easy for me to visualize the extension and feel the space. Kira navigated me through a challenging planning process, and I consistently felt supported during both the design and technical stages. Excitement is building, and I can't wait to kick off the start on site!

We were very pleased with our consultation. Kira gave us every confidence that she would do a very good job for us. We are still in a period of consultations with several architects but have no doubt that Kira would be good to work with if we decide to engage her
