Project breakdowns, practical guides, and answers to the questions we hear most often in consultations.
Developers
What counts as common areas in a residential complex and how they're designed: entrance areas, lobbies, lift halls, corridors, wayfinding, light, materials and regulations. Explained through three ARTEVRIKA projects.
Commercial interiors
How restaurant and café interiors are designed: layout and flow, zoning, seating, light, acoustics, materials and regulations. We look at two ARTEVRIKA projects — a 131 m² wine boutique and a 250 m² gastropub.

Cost
What's included in the cost of an interior design project: measurements, layout, visualisation, technical documentation, specifications. Why two proposals for the same apartment can differ two- or threefold.
Cost
Interior design project cost: per m² prices by package, plus individual services: space planning, visualisation, technical documentation and design supervision. Price list from ARTEVRIKA studio.
Video, Renovation, Cost
101 Group's general contractors on year-to-eighteen-month timelines, stripping out the developer's finish, a crack caused by one concession, an island extractor, and where money gets lost on a renovation.
Video, Renovation
An engineer at Elit Steklo on large-format mirrors, edge protection, defect rates, carrying mirrors upstairs, and when to bring a glazier into a design project.
Process
How the first meeting with an interior designer at ARTEVRIKA works: what questions come up about the layout, the budget and how the family lives, how style preferences are assessed, and what to prepare for the next step.
Process
How long an interior design project takes by stage: the brief about two weeks, the concept 5–15 working days, technical documentation around 20 working days. Real timelines and what shifts schedules more than floor area. ARTEVRIKA studio.
Process, Renovation
The renovation order for a finished interior design project: from rough works under the technical documentation to final finishes, common points where deviations happen, and the role of design supervision. An ARTEVRIKA breakdown.
Video, Process, Renovation
A conversation with an expert from Vozdukh-Expert: how concealed ventilation and air conditioning are built into a finished interior — flat ducts, ceiling junctions, approvals, and the main installation mistakes.

Process, Renovation
Renovation without a design project: when decisions made by eye are enough, and when they turn into rework on site. A comparison of two scenarios and an honest checklist from ARTEVRIKA.
Video, Room tour
A video tour of a 180 m² apartment: lighting scenarios, work with natural stone, and custom furniture built to ARTEVRIKA's own sketches — with a full transcript of the conversation.
