Kleinewelt Architekten

What Kleinewelt Architekten does

Kleinewelt Architekten is a Moscow-based architectural bureau founded in 2012 by three partners — Nikolay Pereslegin, Sergey Pereslegin, and Georgy Trofimov — operating as a Russian LLC (INN 7709922618). The firm delivers architectural design services across residential complexes, office buildings, public buildings, heritage reconstructions, wineries, hospitality venues, and urban master plans, with 33+ projects in its portfolio. Its core methodology centers on historical research and preliminary analysis applied to challenging urban contexts, including adaptive reuse of constructivist-era buildings and high-rise residential developments in Moscow.

The bureau serves enterprise real estate developers (MR Group, PIK, Sminex, Capital Group, O1 Properties, AVILON, KORTROS, KR Properties, Hutton Development, Pioneer), government and public institutions (VDNKh), corporate clients (Ingosstrakh, Avilon dealer centers), and private clients. Revenue is generated through custom architecture and master-planning fees, with projects won via architectural competitions and direct commissions. Distribution is single-country/domestic, primarily Moscow with select regional projects in Krasnodar Territory and Murmansk Region.

The firm operates with a small core team of around 14 professionals plus an 11-student laboratory at MARCHI where the founders also teach. The bureau has no disclosed external funding, maintains no technology products, and is privately held by its three founding partners. Leadership expanded in 2024 with two associated-partner promotions, formalizing a second-tier leadership layer.
