About us | The Masterminds Behind SOIA Design
We're Anton & Ekaterina, a passionate architects and interior designers who bring together the visionary power of interior design and the technical precision of architecture to create exceptional living spaces. Our journey began at Sochi State University, where we honed our creative skills and developed a deep understanding of form and function.
For five years, we put our knowledge to work in a renowned architectural firm, collaborating on projects, to prepare for the 2014 Olympic Games, that instilled a respect for meticulous planning and structural integrity. However, our desire to translate design dreams into tangible realities fueled our entrepreneurial spirit. So, we took the leap and founded SOIA Design, a space where your vision meets our expertise.

Anton Baklan
Co-founder, Interior designer
Design has always been about creating something that feels right—not just on paper, but in real life. I’ve seen how a well-designed space can shift the way people live, work, or connect—and that’s what keeps me passionate about what we do.
I’m hands-on with every project, from the first sketch to the final walk-through. I know that for our clients, these aren’t just buildings—they’re dreams, investments, memories in the making. That’s why I take our work seriously, and why I stay involved every step of the way.
