Aleksey Kazakov is an architect, designer, and fine artist with over 35 years of experience creating work that unites the disciplines of architecture, design, and visual art. He is the founder of Dfergos and Dfergos Antique, pursuing projects that range from buildings and interiors to paintings, objects, and timepieces.
Architectural & Design Practice
Architecture: Residential, cultural, and commercial projects across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
Interior Design: Spaces that balance function, proportion, and atmosphere.
Project Management: Guiding complex projects from concept to construction with precision.
Fine Art
Parallel to his architectural work, Aleksey develops a body of fine art that explores themes of memory, structure, and transformation. His work spans painting, drawing, and mixed media, often informed by his architectural sense of form, rhythm, and layering.

New York Art Collective (New York, USA)
Art Basel Week Events (Miami, USA)
Independent Studio Exhibitions (Miami, New York, and Moscow)
Central House of Artists in Moscow
Watches, Clocks & Horology
Aleksey’s lifelong passion for art and design naturally extends to the world of watches and clocks, where precision and mechanics meet aesthetics. He collects, restores, and designs timepieces, approaching horology as a dialogue between engineering and artistry. This pursuit inspired the creation of DfergosAntique, a platform where he shares curated collections alongside original designs.
Philosophy
Across all fields, Aleksey’s work is guided by a belief in timeless design: creating architecture, artworks, and objects that endure beyond trends, striking a balance between clarity and emotional resonance. His multidisciplinary practice is built on curiosity, discipline, and a dedication to forms that speak to both intellect and spirit.
