Studio
An international architecture, engineering and development studio with offices in Varna and Odesa.
Story
TVORZI is an international architecture, engineering and development studio founded by architect Dmytro Shakal and developer Illya Makhno. The team grew out of two Odesa practices — one designing large residential and public complexes, the other engineering industrial and technological facilities — and today works from Varna and Odesa on projects in eight countries.
We are architects first. But years of building and selling our own projects taught us the thing most bureaus never learn: a building is finished only when it is sold. So we added to the drawing board everything a developer needs after it — brand, website, 3D sales tools, a trained sales team — and we answer for the result.
The studio's practice ranges from a polar research station to an award-winning biomimetic resort in Zanzibar, from coastal slope engineering on the Black Sea to a hotel under an international brand in Bali. The scale changes; the standard does not.

In the press
“Architecture is an investment strategy tool. But today, design alone isn't enough.”
Dmytro Shakal on how architecture drives value in year-round destinations — Bali, Zanzibar and the Bulgarian coast — and why developers, architects and hotel operators must design together.
“We don't sell projects by the square metre. We sell an idea.”
Interview with co-founder and chief architect Dmytro Shakal: 'selfie architecture', emotion as a sales tool, and how design decisions translate into liquidity and price per m².
