Petya Maydanova

Petya is a multidisciplinary architect with over a decade of experience in the UK and a strong academic foundation from the University of Structural Engineering & Architecture (VSU) in Sofia, Bulgaria, where she earned a BA in Engineering Architecture, an MArch in Architecture, and an MA in Investment Project Management—all with First Class Honours.

​

She is a registered architect with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) in the UK and a member of the Chamber of Architects in Bulgaria.

​

Petya has worked extensively across the public and leisure sectors, with experience spanning cinemas, auditoriums, retail and shopping centres, residential developments, casinos, and nightclubs. Her work is driven by a passion for creating spaces that are both engaging and enjoyable to use.

She has a particular interest in heritage and sustainable architecture, and in recent years has been involved in the sensitive refurbishment of several Grade II listed buildings in London’s Mayfair. Petya enjoys breathing new life into historic architecture while preserving its character and significance.

​

With a holistic approach to design, she often draws on her interest in visual arts, music, and photography to enrich her architectural work. Outside of the studio, Petya enjoys photography—some of her work has been published in The Guardian UK—as well as music, art and motorbike design. Her biggest obsession is her Mini Schnauzer puppy - Dela.
