About
Anthropos Design Studio is a residential design practice specializing in new single-family residences and renovations. Based in the Pacific Northwest and working across the United States, the studio creates thoughtful, site-responsive homes shaped by people, place, and atmosphere.
Our work is guided by a belief that architecture begins with an understanding of how people live and how a building belongs to its setting. Each project is developed through a careful study of site, proportion, material, light, and the relationship between interior and landscape.
Founded by Ruslan Golubev, Anthropos Design Studio offers a direct and personal design process from early concept through construction documentation. The studio approaches each residence individually, seeking clarity, restraint, and a lasting sense of place rather than a response driven by trends.

We hired Russ with Anthropos Design Studio to create our new home. Russ the Architect listened to our main criteria, our vision, and our preferences, and managed to create a beautifully designed home that reflects all of it - without sacrificing the structure or functionality of the house in any way. Russ was very patient, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, which super important, and incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. Communication - 5 Star! We highly recommend this Architect!Thank you Russ for your great vision, skills and service provided! Can't wait to see our project come to life.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is typically a flat fee based on project square footage, complexity, desired design timeline, and the level of technical documentation required. Code research and permitting assistance, when needed, are billed hourly at $100 per hour. Work begins after a signed contract and retainer payment are received. Site visits are typically $300, with pricing subject to change depending on location.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process begins with an initial phone or Zoom consultation to understand the project goals, scope, and constraints. After the call, the client completes a short Google Form, which allows me to prepare a detailed proposal. Once the proposal is accepted, a contract is signed and a deposit—typically 30–40%—is collected. From there, meetings and milestones are scheduled directly with the client based on the specific needs of the project.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been studying architecture for over five years. I hold an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in Architectural Design and Drafting from Portland Community College and am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture at Portland School of Architecture. I have worked in the field for four years, including experience at a drafting company and later at an architectural firm in Vancouver, Washington.
