It’s about
the relationships between…
people and space,
people with each other,
and space and the people within it.
Spaces as supporting Experiences.
Hello, I am Maritta Ivanov.
I am an architect and mediator whose work connects architecture, human behaviour, and leadership.
I believe that the spaces we create shape how we live, work, connect, and thrive. Some of those spaces are physical, the buildings, workplaces, and environments we inhabit.
Others are the invisible spaces between people that influence collaboration, wellbeing, and a sense of belonging.
Drawing on both disciplines, I design meaningful buildings, advise clients throughout the planning and construction process, and help leaders use space as a strategic tool to foster wellbeing, collaboration, and performance.
Every project is unique. That's why I work with a trusted network of independent professionals, including architects, interior designers, builders, and specialist consultants, bringing together the right expertise to meet the specific needs of each client.
Together, we create spaces and places that help people feel connected, supported, and at home in a constantly changing world.
My work is driven by a commitment to improving everyday life through the thoughtful design of both physical and human spaces.
I am particularly interested in how people perceive and experience their surroundings in an increasingly global and interconnected world.
Inspired by the life between buildings and the experiences between cultures, I consider movement, the senses, behaviour, perception, and individual needs as essential design elements.
I also help leaders understand how these principles can be applied as powerful tools to foster wellbeing, collaboration, and performance.
By translating these insights into meaningful environments, I create places that support individuals, strengthen teams, and foster communities.
From Complexity to Clarity.
I believe in making complex things simple, practical, and human.
Every project starts with listening and ends with something we're proud to share.
Together we analyze deeply, design thoughtful processes, and stay with complexity until clarity and meaningful solutions emerge.
The “aha” moments are the most rewarding! When layered challenges transform into surprisingly simple, powerful solutions.
When space truly supports people, it does more than function. It helps them feel grounded, connect more deeply, and transform their everyday lives.
Space is never neutral.
It influences how we feel, how we connect, how we move, and who we become. Whether physical or mental, space surrounds us at all times, and its impact on our well-being, identity, and everyday experience is profound.
Architecture emerges when physical space creates new mental realms and emotional experiences.
My work is dedicated to fostering a healthy and meaningful relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit.
I look forward to meeting you.
Maritta
