History

The SPEECH architectural office was formed in 2006 as a joint project of the architects Sergei Tchoban and Sergey Kuznetsov through the merger of two companies – Tchoban and Partners and S. P.

Initially the bureau was called SPEECH Tchoban / Kuznetsov, but after Sergey Kuznetsov was appointed Chief Architect of Moscow in 2012 and left the company, Sergei Tchoban became the sole architect and managing partner, and the name of the bureau was shortened to SPEECH.
