Marianna Petrenko is an architect, interior designer, gallerist, cultural advocate, member of the Historical Real Estate Investors Club, and founder of BOMAR Architectural Bureau.

Marianna Petrenko is a certified specialist of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation in the field of cultural heritage preservation as an architect, an honorary member of the Union of Artists of Russia, a member of the Russian Association of Restorers, the Historical Real Estate Investors Club, the National Union of Hospitality Industry, and the Creative Economy Expert Board with the CIS Business Center. She is also a frequent speaker at Russian and international business programs, exhibitions, and conferences dedicated to the restoration and redevelopment of cultural heritage sites, as well as a participant and laureate of professional competitions, including PRO Restoration and Architectural Heritage (ArkhNasledie).

Marianna Vladimirovna Petrenko was born in Moscow on June 15, 1986. After graduating from art school with honors in 2000, Marianna later entered the Stroganov Moscow State University of Arts and Industry. Alongside her university studies, she worked in Vadim Buynovsky’s workshop at Patriarch’s Ponds.

Already during her studies, Marianna defined the main direction of her professional interests and devoted her diploma project to a cultural heritage site, a monument of Constructivism — the garage by architect Konstantin Melnikov. For this site, she developed a concept for its adaptation into a museum.

In 2013, Marianna Petrenko opened her own architectural bureau — Architecture Bureau by Marianna Petrenko — and, from 2014, focused its work on heritage, actively participating in projects dedicated to the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage sites

One of the bureau’s significant projects was the adaptation of an 18th-century historic mansion in Elohovskiy Proezd. Within the project, Marianna Petrenko went beyond restoration tasks: a gallery was created inside the mansion. Beneath the mosaic vaults of Elohovskiy Gallery,

ideas that Marianna had always cared deeply about came together — the interweaving of the historic spirit and architecture of the place with the contemporary context and its needs.

After successfully completing professional retraining in the program “Reconstruction and Restoration of Architectural Heritage” and receiving certification from the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation in the field of cultural heritage preservation as an architect, Marianna Petrenko decided to fully dedicate her creative work to projects that enrich the country’s historical heritage and preserve it for future generations.

At the end of 2023, Marianna Petrenko’s bureau underwent rebranding and received the name Bureau of Modern Art and Architecture Revival, BOMAR.

The geography of the bureau’s projects has long extended beyond Russia, with completed projects in different parts of the world. Today, the bureau’s portfolio covers more than 20 cities, and this number continues to grow. BOMAR also actively works with contemporary architecture; however, its key focus remains projects connected with the revival and preservation of architectural monuments.
