Arch(e)type is an interdisciplinary architecture practice founded in 2015 by architect Daria Belyakova.
The practice’s mission is to create aesthetically precise, meaning-driven environments through a full 360 approach, where one concept is carried consistently across every scale, from the masterplan to the door handle.
Arch(e)type operates at the intersection of multiple disciplines, with dedicated teams in architecture, interior design, product and graphic design, as well as branding and marketing. The studio employs over 80 people.
Arch(e)type’s values are conceptual clarity, freshness, and professionalism. Each project begins with research into place, cultural context, and real-life user scenarios.
The studio’s portfolio includes residential and mixed-use developments, cultural centers, and hospitality projects across Russia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
Daria Belyakova is also the founder of the furniture brand Archipélago, the jewelry brand Joser, and the educational platform and club A-House, initiatives partnered with Arch(e)type.
