Private Interiors

Bespoke private interiors shaped around your life — with engineering depth and controlled delivery.

Who It Is For

For owners who value the character of a space, its technical integrity and transparent control over complex delivery in equal measure. Geography and area matter less than the calibre of the brief and the culture of collaboration.

What the Client Buys

One complete, implementation-ready design, with separate budgeting, design supervision, procurement and implementation-management stages added where required.

Feasibility Review

For an unclear or contradictory brief, we begin with a separate paid stage: clarifying constraints, the required standard of solutions, the budget range and key risks. This is not a reduced-scope design project.

Complete Design Package

  • Lifestyle and scenario research.
  • Spatial planning and concept.
  • Visualisations.
  • Construction drawings.
  • Specifications and schedules.
  • An agreed scope of bespoke solutions.
  • Briefs and coordination interfaces for specialist consultants.

Budget

First we establish a budget framework; once the design is complete, we assemble a consolidated implementation budget from supplier and contractor proposals. During construction, we maintain a current forecast. We do not promise a fixed figure; we ensure that no change is hidden or unagreed.

Design Supervision

Verifies that delivery follows the design and protects the concept. The number of site visits, meetings, responses and substitution approvals is bounded by the agreed scope.

Implementation Management

Relieves the owner of day-to-day coordination while keeping financial, material and personal decisions in their hands. The client contracts directly with contractors and suppliers.

One Project Control Framework

For projects that continue into delivery, we bring current documents, decisions, programme, budget, deliveries and open questions into one project control framework. It does not remove the complexity of delivery; it makes it visible and manageable.

When Another Format Is a Better Fit

If you only need a set of visualisations, a design without specifications or free day-to-day coordination after the documentation is delivered, Zariza is not the right fit.

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.

Brand Identity

Brand identity is a combination of visual, verbal, and emotional characteristics that make your brand recognizable and unique. It is a holistic system of meanings, images, and values that reflects the essence of the company and shapes how it is perceived by the audience.
