Lives we’ve touched.
“Russ is excellent at both design and collaboration. He has great ideas and is also able to take ideas and make them a reality. I highly recommend his services to any builder, remodeler, or homeowner.”
Jonathan T. - Major Home Remodel
“Russ Golubev did an amazing job planning and designing the addition to my home. The turnaround time for the plans was quick and he was very thorough with his explanations of the details. I was extremely satisfied with every step of the process working with Russ and highly recommend him to anyone looking to remodel or build their home.”
Serge R. - Home Addition
“Not only was he a pleasure to work with, but his clear and timely communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I always felt informed and involved every step of the way.
I would not hesitate to recommend Russ to anyone looking for a talented and professional individual to bring their architectural dreams to life. I would gladly work with him again on future projects, as his expertise and creativity are unmatched. Thank you for such an amazing experience!”

A Dialogue Starts Here
Start with a simple hello—great design begins there.
Anthropos Design is led by Ruslan Golubev, a designer focused on creating homes that are restrained, enduring, and grounded in place. Influenced in part by his Greek ancestry, he brings a quiet sense of proportion and permanence to each project. With a respect for context and a commitment to spatial clarity, Ruslan approaches both new construction and remodels with precision and calm purpose.
