PORTRAIT L6

Immersed in the world of architecture and design, I enjoyed the aesthetics of forms and the combination of textures and materials, a variety of styles. I love being involved in creating something new and beautiful. However, architecture has never been just about planning, zoning, materials, or structures, but it was always about creating an expression for users, satisfying their needs, and responding to the context. I really enjoy getting feedback from people I have designed for. I think that the beauty this profession holds is the impact that it creates on human lives. Moving into a new apartment or making repairs, people often say that they are starting a new life. At such moments, you understand what a huge responsibility a designer has and it becomes even scary, but when a client is satisfied with the result and enjoys his new space, this is indescribable emotions and motivation to continue creating.  Speaking about future realization in this profession, I see myself as an...

  Turning to my childhood, I was a child who was a fan of lego and creating furniture in mini dollhouses.  The choice of what to devote my life was greatly influenced by the fact that in 2014 my parents were building their own house. I still remember how I visited the construction site and watched the builders. I was really motivated and this occupation seemed very interesting to me . Even now I associate creation interior with the grows own child. Even when I entered the Britanka, I realized that I wanted to do private and public interiors, creating a comfortable and beautiful environment for every person. Moreover, this desire motivated me to start working in this area with a second cruise. At the moment, I have been working as an assistant at a construction site for over 2 years and I have been working on my own small projects for the same amount of time. I am inspired by people, their characters, and their stories. I am of the opinion that any design should be individu...

As for me, I always wanted to be a designer. As a child, I loved watching different programs and playing games about interior design. When I entered the British Higher School of Art and Design, I realized that I want to study and develop in the direction of architecture and Interior Design.  I really enjoy designing new aesthetic and practical interiors, selecting various materials and furniture and creating coziness and beauty for people. Speaking of architects, I do not have a favorite one. But I really admire the works of Mies van der Rohe, German-born American architect. He created modern minimalistic buildings using simple forms, paying special attention to details and materials. In addition, I absolutely like and support his philosophy “less is more”. Another architect that inspires me is Frank Gehry. He approaches each building as a sculptural object. I believe that his works prove that architecture is a form of Art. Each of his buildings is unique and unusual. In my opinion...

A designer is a person who creates some new product, plans how it will look, plays with its design and style. It’s an artist who can express some things he wants to say, his ideas, thoughts about anything in his work and make it serve a purpose.  I have always wanted to play a role in the process of the invention of something, whether it is the creation of a design for an apartment or the construction of a new building. I want to play with my imagination and creativity, explore different materials, techniques and styles in order to achieve that needed perception of the space or the building, convey the particular feeling and the atmosphere or transfer the message I wanted to put into this. Architects and designers that inspire me are Frank Lloyd Wright, Zaha Hadid, Zalewski Architectural group, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, Alvaro Siza Vieira and Todd Saunders.

  Self Portrait Marina Megrelishvili 22.09.21   "Beyond imagination. Bringing ideas to life. Infinitely creative solutions." These three phrases can characterize me and my attitude to my favorite work. I believe that my life's passion is design because I have loved creativity and art since childhood and believe that design is a timeless experience. When I first started my journey into the art and design field, I knew it would be a path that will never end. That is why I decided to enter the world of design, and it allows me to discover something new. Even ten years from now, I know that I will get excited and be inspired by the simplest thing, whether it be the design of a showroom or a piece of furniture.  Since I started studying at the British High School of Art and Design, my understanding of art and design has changed. After a lot of research and projects on my way, I was even more inspired and learned a lot from my experience. And based on my last projects, I unders...

  It might be a little surprising and an absolutely old-fashioned way of thinking, and yet I am that person who is fond of old architecture, ancient even. There is nothing more fascinating than witnessing buildings that are centuries old and nevertheless, they stand still. Some of them might be half-destroyed, altered or renovated multiple times, however, each holds a piece of history of some household that inhabited the place long ago, how they lived and what they did. I find architecture beautiful in its own form, how it combines in itself not only artistic beauty but also function.It is never created without any purpose but it is built to accommodate certain needs. It is not about me and architecture around, it is about architecture.  

Back in 2014, I began to think about my future activities and asked myself what I would like to do in life. This question haunted me for a long time because I had to prepare for entering the university.     After analysing  what I enjoy doing, I came to the conclusion that it would be interesting for me to develop interior designs.  How did I understand this?    My choice has fallen on this profession when we were moving to a new apartment.    Its project was made by an interior designer.    While helping him, I was really motivated and this occupation seemed very interesting to me, so I want to devote my life to creating beautiful and comfortable spaces, as well as change people’s lives in a good way.  In general, creating a harmonious interior requires thoughtful organization of the space, special attention to detail and constant development and training.  For me, the profession of an interior designer is not just a job, but...

 As a kid, my favorite game was The Sims.  All people play it in order to create families and play as characters, and I had an interest in creating a house, an interior and, in general, spaces for characters.  Time passed, the game was left behind and I began to equip my space and the space of my loved ones, and in the 9th grade I realized that I do not just bring comfort and beauty, but that this is my vocation.  My parents and relatives believed that it was just a hobby, not a profession.  I am very persistent and purposeful, so I began to prove to everyone around that this is my profession, and not just a hobby.  She took various courses and trainings related to architecture, design and general art.  My parents saw my sincere interest and passion and together we decided that I was going to get higher education in the field of architecture and interior design.  Studying a British woman in my second year, I realized that I lacked knowledge, I too...
