Name of the project

Profildoors entrance door showroom in the Rumyantsevo Business Park

Main character

Profildoors — a premium entrance door manufacturer launching a new line of aluminum doors into the interior design market.

Setting

Moscow, Rumyantsevo Business Park

Blu Brass Depth Showroom

Objective

Create a compact yet expressive space capable of conveying to the design community the value and aesthetic of next-generation entrance doors. It was essential to highlight their architectural integrity and price point while ensuring visual and emotional engagement.

Conceptual scenario

The showroom facade is styled as a fragment of a private residence: copper-clad portal frames open at an angle, referencing contemporary architectural techniques. Landscape bollard‐lights and a partition form an intimate zone, isolated from the shopping centre’s bustle. Inside, the interior evokes an Italian courtyard: a deep blue backdrop, light‐wood woven furniture, and mirrors behind the exhibits that reflect light. Some doors were painted specifically to our brief.

Client’s role in the project

The client entrusted us with creating the first brand‐image space for the new product line, supported the development of bespoke solutions, and approved the key exhibition elements.

Architecture of the idea

The central concept is the entrance as a status symbol. The space must function not only as a product showcase but also as a vision of possible future living. Mirrors positioned behind the doors expand perspective, reinforcing the metaphor of transition and infinity.

On site

Custom copper portal frames and partitions with geometric openings were installed; interior finishes, decorative painting, furniture arrangement, door installation, and mirror panels were completed.

Details and meanings

  • Copper portals with angled geometry;
  • Mirrors behind doors create an optical play;
  • Large table for comfortable meetings and project work;
  • Carefully selected colour accents in furniture and finishes.

Final result

The showroom does more than display doors; it lets visitors feel the imprint these doors leave on a home’s architecture and perception.

The name Zariza

Engraving of historic Tsaritsyn by Adam Olearius, 1636

In 1663, a book by Adam Olearius, a German scholar and secretary to the Holstein embassy to Russia and Persia, included a plate with six engraved views of Russian cities.

Tetus, Samara, Soratof, Zariza, Tzornogar, Kusmamedianski. Olearius passed Tsaritsyn on 6 September 1636.

Partners and clients sometimes jokingly associate our name with royalty. We do not mind, although for us it is rooted above all in the history of a place.

The city’s name is associated with the Tsaritsa River. One explanation traces it to the Turkic “sary-su”, meaning “yellow river”; another links it to “yellow sand”.

The fortress in the engraving stands at a meeting of currents: goods and embassies travelled along the river, and routes crossed here. This image resonates with us. Design and implementation also form a system of many factors, whose parts need to work together.

The studio’s name is tied to the history of Tsaritsyn, a city at the confluence of the Volga and Tsaritsa rivers. Our first office opened here, near the Architecture University. The studio began work on 21 December 2012, the day a 5,125-year cycle of the Maya calendar came to a close.

“Art” was added later, when we registered the domain. The name retains our connection to our place of origin, while the studio’s work has long reached beyond its geography.
