Ilya Shakirov
Interior design turnkey.
Architecture and construction of residences are the core practice. Interiors are residential and commercial. I lead every project myself, turnkey: from concept to handover, with supervision on site.
Project types
Formats of work I lead personally.
- Country residences
- Apartments and penthouses
- Private interiors
- Architectural design
- Site supervision
- Furnishing and decor
Selected projects
Projects cleared for publication
Some work is bound by non-disclosure agreements. Below are the projects clients allowed me to show. The rest — in person.
An estimate for your project — not a “from” figure
Request an estimate ↗Process
Turnkey, without intermediaries
One designer is responsible for the concept, documentation, construction, procurement and handover.
First meeting
We discuss the brief, the site, budget and timing. After the meeting I fix the scope of work and the terms of the contract.
Survey and research
I study the site, regulations and context, then produce the design brief and the pre-design concept.
Concept
I present a single design solution: layouts, materials, lighting, visualisations. We approve it before technical design begins.
Technical documentation
I issue the drawing set, schedules and specifications, select contractors and suppliers, and control the budget.
Construction and supervision
I run construction and site supervision until handover, then provide as-built documentation and operating recommendations.

The practice
A private practice, not a studio
I run the practice personally. No departments, no account managers, no handing the project over to a production team: the client hires a specific designer who takes the work through to handover.
I work with private premium-segment clients. One direction only — contemporary minimalism with elements of wabi-sabi; I don't take other styles.
Projects are delivered turnkey: concept, documentation, construction, furnishing and supervision on site. Geography: Moscow, Kazan, Sochi, St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg; projects abroad are delivered remotely.
“Good design for a client like this is when the solution needs no explanation: it is appropriate, obvious and still works years later.”

The estimate is free and without obligation.

Within one business day after a short call — a preliminary estimate broken down by stage.
What it covers
Design, construction, furnishing and supervision as separate lines.
Testimonials
No names — under our agreements
We worked on the residence for a year and a half. Not one missed deadline and not one decision we had to apologise for.
Private client
Residence · premium segment
Ilya leads the project personally: he is on site more often than the contractors. In our experience that is rare.
Private client
Apartments · Kazan
A separate virtue is restraint. Nothing superfluous, everything appropriate — and still so five years later.
