A designer who prefers to get to the core of an issue or topic, finding an interesting basis for a concept that would carry a certain meaning. How to achieve a certain atmosphere using limited resources, play with metaphors, create a coherent and harmonious space that still meets the main objectives - this is what attracts him most when working on projects. Create an atmosphere that leaves a mark in memory.

The main theme of the project is interpenetration and interconnection. The design combines metaphors and cultural symbols of Kazakh and Japanese culture. The theme of the Ryoanji Rock Garden and Wabi Sabi is harmoniously intertwined with the sacred Baiterek tree and the stylized Bozzhira mountain range. The surrounding nature penetrates into the interior in the form of stones taken from the shore, sofas stylized as boulders and fills the space with light reflected from the metal ceiling, as well as a natural range of materials.
