Manifesto

Space doesn’t lie. It tells the story of who you are — or who you haven’t dared to become yet.

Alchemy transforms architecture and interiors through geometry, light, and human psychology. Every project is a portrait of a client at the threshold of their next chapter.

The Founder

Olya Egorov

Founder & Principal · Alchemy Architectural & Interior Design


“She always saw the portrait before the room was ready for it.”

Four graduate degrees — in psychology, strategic management, entrepreneurship, and an MBA from MIT Sloan — and thirty years building businesses across Eastern Europe and the United States. Yet across every system she entered and rebuilt, the instinct was always the same: see the architecture first, then transform it.

Trained as a psychologist and a builder of companies, she spent over eleven years in the US as the force behind dozens of architectural renovations — each positioned at the intersection of design and investment value.

Alchemy is the first system built entirely around what she sees — not decorating, not renovating. Transforming.

The Approach

Every project begins the same way.

Geometry

How a space is structured before a single object enters it — the lines that decide how a room will feel.

Light

How it enters, how it moves, how it lifts a ceiling into something that feels infinite.

Psychology

The space becomes a portrait — not of a room, but of the person standing on the threshold of their next chapter.

What clients come to us for

Clarity before construction. One person accountable throughout.

Renovation planning

The sequence of decisions, set before a contract is signed — when changing course still costs nothing.

Kitchen & bath strategy

The two rooms where mistakes are the most expensive, resolved on paper first.

Space transformation

Geometry, light and flow rethought — not redecorated.

Owner representation

One voice across architects, trades and vendors, from concept to final walkthrough.

In the studio now

Penthouse Sherri

Beachfront residence, built 1978 · A turnkey transformation

A residence taken back to its true class. Light lifted across 99-inch ceilings, the ocean made the hero. More than a design project, this penthouse became a portrait.

Every decision was guided not by fashion, but by the character of its owner — her grace, discernment, quiet confidence, and understated sophistication.

The space now speaks her language.

Quiet luxury · Soft coastal · Architectural warmth
