Bureau profile
DA Bureau is a team of architects and designers working on projects around the world. Our main goals are to create unique and memorable spaces and to change the urban environment. Design and architecture are our passion and our lifestyle. We work a lot with spatial organisation and storytelling in our projects, creating unique visual concepts. It is important for us to make the world around a little better and more beautiful, that’s why we work with projects from a mere concept up to the launch and know how to bring our ideas into life.
Over the past 10 years, the bureau has implemented more than 200 projects in the field of architecture and interior design. Among them are such successful projects as restaurants Birch, Under The Sea, Osteria Betulla, Matsu izakaya & Roku bar, Frank, Kinkally, Balagan gastromarket, a new visual image for the brand Poison Drop and Ekonika, renovation of the Mirage cinema, beauty salon for Serdar Kambarov, Department 57 bar & club and much more.

In 2023, the bureau became the winner of the LOOP Design Awards competition in the “Best Interior Design Firm” category.
The works of the bureau are regularly published in the best professional media, as well as in printed publications. In its projects, the bureau adheres to a modern minimalist style. Founded by architects, the bureau adopts an architectural approach to design.
“We are convinced that a well-organised space is the foundation ofthe entire project. And first of all, we are trying to work with spaceand volume, and not merely with the plane and decor. A well thought-through functional and voluminous organisation of the project is a top priority for us and serves as the basis for furtherwork with materials and details.”
Creative credo
“ We create architecture within interior”
“ Functionality is the priority over decor.”

EKONIKA store by DA Bureau
The themes of the history of shoe making and the background of the EKONIKA brand and its founders led us to the theme of the Mediterranean and antiquity with its nobility,whiteness, and softness. We chose the image of a marble quarry with huge blocks of snow-white stone, alluding to sculpture production.
