Meet Gennadi

“Archidea was born out of my passion for residential architecture. I believe that architecture is not only the art of creating great looking buildings, but also the art of organising people’s lives”.

With over 30 years in the construction industry, I love to use my knowledge and experience in architecture, design and construction to improve people’s lives by re-arranging their houses or apartments or creating new homes.

As the Director of Archidea, I manage projects from the design stage through to construction, ensuring practical and efficient designs.

2x More space and light to my living and kitchen in old English brick home.

This renovation has been a game-changer for our family home. Gennadi supported our idea of opening up living and kitchen shoving a deep understanding of our lifestyle, especially with kids.
