meet Alla Kazovsky:
children’s room design specialist

Most people know me as an authority on children’s rooms, but I’m also a picture book author-illustrator, an educator, and a mother. When my architect’s license and first daughter arrived on the same day, I quit corporate life to start a child-centered multi-faceted design firm. Integrating creativity into parenting while weaving parenting into a career led to award-winning results!

These days, my practice reaches far beyond Los Angeles. A self-appointed
spokesperson for nurturing potential literally from day one, I offer virtual design consultations and work in tandem with parents all over the world craving to im-
prove their children’s lives.

licensed architect catering to kids

“I would love to offer any support to Alla, the brilliant artist who created my school space I love more every day! It would have been better with the beams she called for rather than the soffit Armando put in, but it is still wonderful. The way the ceiling opens up, out, and into the light is a metaphor for learning. The modern and traditional elements never clash. I am happy the whole time I am in the space.”
– Gigi deMarrais client

“Undoubtedly the most committed designer exploring the needs of children and families.”
– Vaughan Davies colleague

“Alla is an Architect’s Architect. She is also as warm and creative and as full of life as the space that she created for me. My advice: Hire her. Work with her. It will make you happy.”
– Steven Goldberg client

“Dear Alla,
thank you very much for these useful suggestions. I will continue on this path following the
interesting approach of your book “DIY Like an Architect”. What you wrote is true; stimulating our personal creativity, we can really make our ideas come to life and that’s the good architect’s job — helping the customers find their way. So, once again, thank you for your original thinking and approach…for sure I will come back to you soon for your support on this project! A presto, Fabiola”
– Fabiola DIY-er

founder of Children’s Architecture Workshop

To have a profound influence in my daughters’ lives, I established
Children’s Architecture Workshop at Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-arc). Mia and Nastasya enrolled as soon as they were old enough.

These snapshots capture work in progress as summer camp participants design and build a play structure to donate to a non-profit infant and toddler care center in Santa Monica, California. Once installed, the play structure is used and enjoyed!
