about us

Our story began in 2007, when Irina Grechukhina founded the architectural bureau ZEN Design. Today we are a team of professional architects and designers. 14 years of experience in designing commercial, corporate and residential facilities in Moldova, Romania, China, Portugal, France.      

We see the mission of our team in changing the world through high-quality conceptual architecture. Each of our projects has a unique meaning and an author’s idea.

All projects we approach with focus on specific human needs and client’s requirements.

  Our goal: to change the level of real estate in our country

  Everything is possible with us!

In its work Zen Design S.R.L. is used to work according to the principle “Run away from the groupthinks!” It means that we always look for non-standard approaches and make individual offers to our clients. As a result, our works become unique and ingenious. What are we able to do?
Innovative technical design developments of Zen Design S.R.L. combine refinement of forms and quality confirmed by many international rewards. Offers of Zen Design S.R.L. are aimed, first of all, at those, who are not afraid of new and exclusive things. Work with such clients brings satisfaction to the both parties. We gain experience in promoting new design ideas and options, while the client gets his dream come true.
And although such an approach to the work requires investments, all they finally will be paid off because not only you but also thousands of your impressed clients will feast their eyes on your bar, boutique, hotel or office!
The more the welfare of people grows and develops, the more they are drawn to something rare and exclusive. At that, people want that such things surround them everywhere: at home, at work, at rest. On the other hand, in their pursuit to create their own business many companies, firms and enterprises adopt each other’s design and interior basics. As a result, everywhere we are surrounded with the same atmosphere of standard furniture and interior finishing. All these are banal, boring and ineffective yet for a long time!

Irina Grechiuhina

Founder of the ZEN Design bureau. Architect

Founder of the architectural bureau ZEN Design. Irina's path can be compared with the chellenging design-project and with its integral parts. Now, it seems, she is at the sketch stage, when the concept is already approved, but it is possible to make adjustments, look for new images and trends, try and make mistakes. There's still a lot of work to be done... Interesting, challenging, with adventures. And it is not scaring when there is a big noisy family, when a part of it is at home - three children, a husband, a dog and another part is in the office - architects and designers. Irina plans to enter the European market in HORECA segment, to build a house in the river valley and to present her paintings at the ART Basel fair.

Alina Moroz

Architect
Inspirer and the main inventor of ZEN Design. In business since 2008. There is no such project, whether it be an office, a restaurant or a residential building, that would be out of her league. She knows her most complex project in great detail. Alina is passionate about her work and will defend her every idea.

Bilinschii Vasilii

Architect
Immediately after graduating from the Technical University of Moldova, he went to Russia and began his career as an architect in Moscow. He was engaged in the reconstruction of public buildings and professional prototyping. Vasilii loves to communicate and he does it very well. He can be trusted with complex negotiations and acute situations. He speaks toasts best of all and enjoys calligraphy.

Munteanu Doina

Architect
Our in-house perfectionist. At school, Doina loved the exact sciences, studied at an art school, danced, drew wall newspapers, played the piano and did everything perfectly. But I chose a profession on a trolleybus, on the day of submission of documents. Medicine and architecture were balancing on the scales. We are glad that the Technical University won that day)

Zeimanis Ianis

Designer
In his youth, he drew graffiti and his hobby influenced the choice of his future profession. He combines qualities rare for a designer: invincible punctuality, discipline and clarity. Janis is listed as the main DJ of the company. Knows how to dance break dance, but it's not for sure)

Pavaleanu Artur

Architect
Joined the company in 2013. Arthur has extensive experience in designing complex objects: residential buildings, public buildings. In any situation, he remains indestructible and confident. He is raising a daughter, the most precious thing for him is the time spent with his family.

ZEN Design has had a happy and long-lasting relationship with Julia. Back in 2012, immediately after her graduation from the Technical University of Moldova, she joined 'ZEN' and was sharing with us her talents and energy for the following 5 years, until one tiny human separated us :)  Julia went on parental leave.
Now she is back and we are extremely glad to see her in the team again.

Andrei Bordeanu

Architect
Thinker and Philosopher by ZEN Design. Andrey carefully delves into all the details of the project. Each of his decisions is thought out and weighed. No fuss or rush. In his youth he played the guitar in a rock band, but with the advent of a beard and "adult" activities (family, work), there was less time for his favorite hobby.
