BETWEEN THE WALLS INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO

founders

The founders’ diverse backgrounds became their greatest strength: Viktoriia contributed a creative vision and a refined sense of aesthetics, while Andrii brought strategic thinking and an understanding of business processes. Together, they built a company that faced major challenges from its very first days — the pandemic forced a rethinking of many things, and the full-scale war even more so. Yet it was these challenges that helped Viktoriia and Andrii realize the true purpose of their work: creating spaces that reveal the character of a person or a brand.

Viktoriia Kariieva, a designer and artist, graduated in 2017, leaving behind a long athletic career in favor of a new passion — architectural design.
Fate brought her together with Andrii Anisimov, whose background in the startup ecosystem and experience as a real estate agent provided a deep understanding of how people perceive space and what truly influences their choices. In 2019, they founded Between the Walls — an architecture and interior design studio where contemporary design meets artistic movements, giving rise to eclectic projects with a strong, distinctive character.

One of their most significant projects was a multifunctional space for Good People, an inclusive bakery employing people with disabilities. The Between the Walls team transformed the fourth floor into a lecture and socialization space for people with intellectual disabilities, while also creating comfortable housing for four employees who needed dignified living conditions. The project was designed pro bono and became a powerful example of how architecture can serve as a tool for social change. Andrii personally helped raise the funds required to bring this space to life. For the studio, architecture is a way of speaking the language of art.

Between the Walls actively collaborates with Ukrainian artists, integrating their works into spaces and creating collaborations that present Ukrainian art on the global stage. In 2024, the studio realized a special project — a collection of designer chairs created in collaboration with eight modernist artists. Each chair became an individual art object, and the entire collection turned into a charitable in. Between the Walls is a place where space becomes an instrument of change, where art steps beyond gallery walls and becomes part of everyday life — inspiring and supporting those who need it most.
