Nefaproject
Nefaproject is an architecture and design practice based in Cyprus, with a professional lineage that began in Moscow in the early 1990s. In 1993, Garold Mosolov co-founded NEFA, an architecture and design studio that worked across private, commercial and larger-scale projects. In 1999, he established NefaProject as an independent practice, developing a body of work in private architecture, residential development and masterplanning.
The practice first became involved in Cyprus in 2011, working on local projects as an international design architect in collaboration with Cyprus-based architectural practices and consultants. What began as project-based collaboration developed into a permanent presence on the island, leading to the establishment of Nefaproject Ltd in Cyprus in 2019.
Today, Nefaproject continues under Garold Mosolov’s creative direction and the architectural leadership of Egor Mosolov, RIBA Chartered Architect and ETEK-registered architect. The practice brings together long-standing experience in private and development projects with current professional knowledge of the Cyprus planning, regulatory and construction environment.
Nefaproject works with private clients, developers and companies in Cyprus and internationally. The practice operates in English and Russian and maintains a senior-led model in which the people responsible for the creative and architectural direction remain directly involved in each commission.
The Practice
Nefaproject works across architecture, interior design and masterplanning, with architecture at the centre of the practice. Our projects range from private houses and interiors to residential developments, offices, hospitality projects and large-scale masterplans. The scale may change, but the same senior architects remain closely involved in the decisions that shape each project.
We work through the full architectural process — from the brief and first concept to planning and approvals, design development, technical coordination and construction. Design is not handed from one team to another as the project progresses: the architects responsible for its direction remain involved throughout, working with engineers, consultants and specialist teams as required.
In Cyprus, the practice combines design authorship with direct knowledge of the local planning system, regulatory requirements and construction process. We also collaborate with international architects and design studios, providing local architectural expertise, coordination and, where required, an Architect of Record role while preserving the original design intent and a peer-to-peer working relationship.
