Hi! I'm Viktoria-young architect from Kazan/Russia. Kazan is unique city, becouse here peaceful coexist two culture and two religion : Orthodox christianity and Islam. I think, that place where i was born is influence on my mind and my picture of the world.
I know that at the intersection of different spheres a new, diverse and unusual is created. I am engaged in architecture, any design from objects to urban studies and also I teach architecture and drawing to children in school. I prefer work for the soul, and not for money, although one does not interfere with one another.

Recently a big event happened in my life-my friends opened two coffee houses with my design called "Oil." It's a funny coincidence because in Tatarstan, whose capital is Kazan, oil is the main source of income. I really love nature and animals, I love everything natural: materials, processes, beauty. This is the rule for my work and life in general. The circle of my interests is expanding every day, travel helps me in this. I'm also a big fan of sports: bicycle, skate, swimming, yoga, rock climbing, yachting.

My dream is to become a man of peace and live on a yacht. Maybe you got the impression that I'm too right, but it's not)) In my opinion, the ideal is boring, all my friends and I may seem a little nuts, maybe it's because we love freedom and do not hide our feelings and opinions.
