Peter Kostelov

I performed my first residential interior design project in 1996, in Moscow, Russia. Since that time architecture has been my biggest passion! Before moving to New York in 2013, I had been running my own architectural firm since 2007 in Moscow. I specialized in residential interiors and private house design and also worked in larger scale projects such as commercial offices, cafes, bars, clubs and restaurants in collaboration with other architectural and development companies. My approach to design starts with careful understanding of program and function to reach unique design that interacts with the existing environment, responds to local communities, and shows respect for nature.
