ABOUT

My name is Alevtina Butuzova. I founded my own interior design studio, where we work on designing private living spaces together with my team. We don’t just recreate successful designs - we treat every new assignment as a unique opportunity that deserves a one-of-a-kind design. We are fully dedicated to our work, regardless of the difficulty level.

We firmly believe that every home has the right to be unique, much like its owner, since the space we live in is a reflection of our inner world. We take pride in our craft and know how to create an interior that you will love.

This was my first relatively serious project, therefore I was very thorough with choosing an architect. Having seen numerous works by various architects, I made my final decision after visiting a number of apartments which were fully or partially designed by Alevtina’s studio. A month after our initial discussions about my wishes and expectations for the project, I was presented with a high quality, comprehensive design projects, 95% of which ended up being implemented.

The whole renovation process from start to finish took one year, which, considering the workload, I thought would be near impossible. Alevtina’s team was able to realise the the project so fast because they have strong connections with good construction crews, contractors, suppliers and manufacturers, which, as I now realise, is very important.

Since we agreed to the on-site architectural supervision, Alevtina’s team had full control over the whole project, starting with the construction process itself, and finishing with ordering, installation and quality control of materials and furnishing, which saved me a lot of time and, subsequently, nerve cells.

Of course. over the course of such a long project there are always disagreements; the client wants one thing, the architects want something different, nevertheless we quickly learned how to find a compromise.

The architects stood their ground where it was necessary, and explained the reasoning behind their decisions, for which I am now grateful. With less significant issues, common ground was found fairly quickly.

As a result - a beautiful apartment in a short time span. The whole process left me with a great impression.

I’m very glad that I turned to Alevtina for help with planning and choosing materials for renovating my apartment.

Thanks to her I was liberated from the need to solve problems related to planning, controlling the workflow and being constantly physically present at the work site.

The work process was well structured, efficient, and everything went smoothly. An architectural album was prepared, which included the apartment layout, visualisation of the interior style, and budget estimates, saving me a lot of time.

I’m very pleased with the work that was done, especially with the fact that I was able to trust Alevtina with my real-estate, and in return she was able to turn my dreams into reality.

I can happily recommend Alevtina not only as a high-class professional, but in general as a friendly, honest and responsible person, who wholeheartedly loves her work.

I wish her creative success and fulfilment of all her plans!
