Founded in 2021, Daria Sheina Studio (DSS) is a Vancouver-based multidisciplinary practice working across residential, commercial, and public realms. The studio approaches design as an integrated system—linking cultural, environmental, and technological contexts through a holistic and collaborative process. Its work ranges from remote, off-grid environments to higher-density housing and culturally driven projects, engaging questions of adaptability, performance, and environmental integration.
Prior to establishing DSS, Daria Sheina worked at award-winning practices in Vancouver and Moscow, contributing to complex mixed-use projects from concept to completion. She holds a Master of Architecture from the Moscow Architectural Institute.
The studio is currently engaged in projects across British Columbia, including collaborations with First Nations communities, missing-middle housing developments, and remote, site-responsive initiatives.
