STA (formerly Studio-TA) is a full-service architectural burau with an 18-year track record of success. The burau specializes in the design of residential complexes, public buildings, urban planning projects, cottage communities, private homes, and sales offices. The team has completed over 270 projects in Russia and abroad.
We approach design not only from an aesthetic standpoint but also with a focus on efficiency, ergonomics, and the value the facilities offer to their end users—whether tenants, buyers, or visitors. Our burau employs a team of architects, designers, engineers, and structural specialists who collaborate to tackle challenges of any complexity, handling everything from concept development and preliminary designs to the preparation of detailed project and construction documentation and the provision of architectural supervision.

Its geographical reach spans Moscow and the Moscow Region; the Kaluga, Rostov, Bryansk, Vologda, Tyumen, Arkhangelsk, Kemerovo, and Nizhny Novgorod regions; Primorsky and Krasnodar areas; and Crimea, as well as Germany, Greece, Armenia, and Georgia. Today, the firm maintains offices in Moscow, Yerevan, and Athens.
