I specialize in masterplanning, development concepts and technological solutions for large-scale development projects.
Physical AI platform for resort operations.
RubiqOS orchestrates day-to-day operations between people and robots. Its engine plans the tasks, splits the work between staff and machines, and runs both as one team.
Masterplan for a $1B resort on a private island in the Caribbean.
My concept won a RIBA competition, and I was invited to join the project as Lead Masterplan Architect. I was the third member of the team and helped shape the initial vision, the masterplan and the overall development concept.
My scope covered the architectural and development concept of the island, strategic planning and cross-disciplinary coordination.
Concept development for a laboratory complex on the CERN campus.
Our team helped shape the concept for a complex of administrative buildings and laboratories at CERN. We ran several strategy sessions with the architectural teams and laboratory representatives to define clear requirements for the architectural design.
In collaboration with CERN and Nickl & Partner
Platform for automated property management.
Easyinn started as an internal tool for running our own network of hotels with 280 units in total. It included a keyless access system and a guest app with a marketplace of local services.
It was later spun off as a standalone product and launched in several countries.
Gated community development on Koh Samui, Thailand.
Masterplan and product concept for a gated community of 11 premium villas on Koh Samui, Thailand — plus fundraising, marketing and sales.
The largest foresight study for the Moscow masterplan.
I was part of the team that developed the methodology, strategy and overall structure of the study for the Moscow masterplan — a joint effort of three universities and research institutions and more than 2,000 experts from business, government and academia.
The project shaped the long-term development strategy of the Moscow masterplan and made several landmark projects possible, including:
In collaboration with the Moscow Masterplan Institute and the Higher School of Economics
Redevelopment of a cluster of historic buildings in Saint Petersburg.
The goal was to increase the value of a restored 40,000 m² historic building fivefold within five years.
The overall development strategy was to create an attractive public space, fill it with hospitality operators, and acquire and redevelop the neighboring buildings in the block.
As a result, Saint Petersburg gained another informal center of attraction in the heart of the city.
In collaboration with Miles & Yards and Katarsis Architects
Development and optimization of the masterplan for a high-tech manufacturing center.
The facility builds civil aircraft as well as fourth- and fifth-generation fighter jets.
Our task was to expand and partially redesign the site to make room for new production facilities.
Calendar will appear here.
