About

Founded in 2013 by art historian and interior designer Aiya Lisova, AIYA Bureau creates exclusive architecture and bespoke sophisticated interiors all over the world. The team offers turn-key services and covers the entire process from concept to happy housewarming.

Straight from the beginning, Aiya Lisova worked as a chief designer of the bureau, but over time she transformed into a creative director and visionary, defining the style and directing the design team. Now Aiya Lisova acts as a creative director not only in her bureau but also in other international projects.

The AIYA team creates exclusive architecture and bespoke sophisticated interiors — apartments, houses and SPAs all over the world — in Moscow, Dubai, London and Miami. Through an exploration of materials, colours, forms, architecture and art, we add a wealth of experiences into every space. The important nuance is the balance between the designer’s vision and the individuality of the client. The bureau creates spaces that reflect the true values and lifestyle of their clients. The team combine aesthetics with functionality and comfort. They work with natural and eco-friendly materials, prefer calm shades and integrate high-end technologies into our projects. The AIYA team are passionate about art and work with the best art galleries in Moscow, London, Milan, Dubai and Cape Town.

In 2022, AIYA Bureau started to work in the B2B direction and collaborate with the best developers worldwide. The company's portfolio already includes a penthouse, a comfortable sales office, a lobby and halls for premium residential complexes in the centre of Moscow.

Aiya Lisova, the company's creative director, believes that art is an essential component of the interior design process, as it adds mood and enhances the overall vision of the space. Her degree in the History of Arts, combined with travels and visits to the best museums and galleries, led to the creation of a new business department — AIYA collectible. The division is dedicated to collectable design and art. The team collaborates with art galleries globally, curates private collections, and organises exhibition visits and meetings with artists.
