"ABV Group" Architecture Bureau

ABV GROUP is a major Russian architectural practice with a substantial body of work. Nikita Biryukov has led it with an approach that is collaborative rather than autocratic. Driven by the desire to continually refine and evolve the practice’s work, he has remained determined to maintain its early vitality, and to create an environment in which the second generation can build upon, exceeding the achievements of the first. This is an unusually harmonious office with a cooperative atmosphere. Architects are encouraged to have the widest perspective on their work and to take pleasure in the richness of their subject. The practice produces work that is refined, crafted and purpose.
ABV GROUP was established in 1992 and we have grown steadily over the years to our present strength of 48 staff.
