ever thought about the Russian word for “help” — “помощь” (pomosh’)? If you break it down, it gets even more interesting. The word seems to come from two parts:

- “по-“ (po) – which can mean “from the outside” or “along with”
- “мощь” (mosh) – which means “power” or “strength”

so, the word “помощь” can be understood as “co-power” or “shared strength.” It implies recognizing that you don’t have all the power yourself and being open to someone else’s support

unlike the English word “help,” which comes from the Old English “helpan” (to support or assist), the Russian term has an interesting depth — the idea of sharing or combining strength

isn’t it amazing how languages reflect different ways of thinking?

once, while discussing some cases with a client, we talked about situations when suppliers aren’t really responsible with their orders

at some point, I said in Russian that I’m loyal to treat them. He looked confused — it wasn’t his native language. So I explained what I meant, and only later I I realized that in English, ‘loyal’ doesn’t usually go with “to treat something”:

“loyalty” in Russian doesn’t always mean devotion.
sometimes, it’s softer and simply means:
“I understand. I don’t argue. I quietly step aside.”

maybe we use it this way because for me, real loyalty starts with staying devoted to yourself — and to your values, even it’s not my glass of w**e

I don’t rush into design, it’s a process that takes time, but later values more

inspiration is always with me, but for ideas to fully develop, I need space to reflect. I start with photos and floor plans, allowing my mind to wander, refining ideas until I find the right solution in my imagination. I don’t work on demand — I prefer to reflect and discuss with the client to find the best approach

it may look as it takes a little longer, but clients are usually happy to receive detailed plans within 1-2 weeks. My Slavic roots give me a strong sense of responsibility and attention to detail, which helps me stay on track, even in the relaxed Mediterranean environment

in Russian, we say: “if it seems to you, then it’s it doesn’t seem to you” and means you already know

distribution plans for a project in Lake Como

in front of the house, there’s a wonderful view of the lake — and I wanted to make the most of it. So I designed the layout to create beautiful views from different points in the house — whether you’re cooking, waking up, chilling, or even just brushing your teeth while looking out at the view

to be an artist is a noble cause, or a curse

art comes from feelings so strong that they’re impossible to explain, because only art can do it

aesthetic ecstasy [esˈθet.ɪk ˈek.stə.si] - is the ability to experience immense pleasure from something beautiful, such as nature, architecture, people, etc., without the desire to possess it for yourself

when I was around 5, my ballet teacher used to say during a stretching exercise called «Sun»:
«You’re pointing your toes as if to gently touch a flower, move it nearby, smell it, and then return it to its place without causing any harm, because it’s really beautiful, and we wouldn’t want to make it pain»

I think she used a good way to explain to us what aesthetic pleasure is
