grd: is a multidisciplinary studio founded by Ivan Kychkin, known for his strong creative vision.
What began as an architectural bureau has grown into something more – today, grd: brings together architecture, urban planning, art installations, and other creative disciplines.
We seek a balance between boldness and meaning.
Rebellion in form is our freedom to break familiar boundaries and discover new expressive solutions. We are not afraid to challenge conventions and create projects that evoke emotion.
Striving for essence is our respect for context, history, and people. We believe that meaning must always stand behind form. That’s why we strip every project of the unnecessary — to reveal what truly matters.
We create spaces that become centers of life and points of attraction.
Each project is a dialogue with its place and the people who inhabit it — whom we always engage through surveys, interviews, and workshops.
For us, architecture is a cultural act, not just construction.
We connect local stories with a contemporary language to create works that feel familiar and meaningful to residents, yet intriguing to the world.
We let the projects speak for themselves.
Humanism. People and society at the center.
Authorship. Everyone on the team is an author; every project is a unique statement.
Context. Respect for place, history, and culture.
To build spaces where form becomes expression and an individual becomes a co-creator.
