Vera Butko
co-founder & chief architect

A graduate of the Moscow Architectural Institute, member of the Moscow Union of Architects, tutor at the Moscow Architecture School MARCH and curator of the educational programme Designing the School of the Future, Vera Butko is also a professor of the Moscow branch of the International Academy of Architecture.

Before founding ATRIUM, she worked at Mosproject-2 and ABD architects. In 1994, together with Anton Nadtochiy, she established the practice, which has since grown into a major architectural bureau while preserving an author-led approach to design.

Vera continues to define ATRIUM’s professional strategy and artistic direction, maintaining the format of an author-led practice as the scale and complexity of its projects increase. A key part of her work is the development of the bureau’s internal culture and the formation of a multifunctional team, where each participant in the design process can realise their own potential while working as part of a coherent creative system.
