sDs–Sharkov Design Studio L.L.C. founder and principal Elizabeth Bougart-Sharkov, Intl. Assoc. AIA, is sought after by clients who look for highly experienced professional advice, ideas and painless solutions that navigates the process painlessly and bring to the clients the quality of life they will enjoy for years.
sDs–Sharkov Design Studio L.L.C. was established in Los Angeles as a full-scale design and consulting firm specializing in Custom Residential Design and Small-Scale Commercial Design and Interiors.
The firm engages in an intensely collaborative design process with all clients, leading to functional, sustainable and most effective personal solutions.
Elizabeth Bougart-Sharkov, International Associate AIA, brings her combined extensive professional experience of over 45 years in Europe and the US to her work.
Not merely head of the department, Elizabeth was personally involved in the design of new structures within often restrictive environments where national historic and architectural significances were predominant substance. In 1987 she was able to make a professional (and personal) transition to the United States. Three years later, in 1990, she established sDs–Sharkov Design Studio in Los Angeles.

Elizabeth’s philosophy is to pursue and achieve her clients’ satisfaction based on distinctive timeless design, precision to every detail, job site specificity and established reasonable budget. Sharkov Design Studio is the place where a potential client can receive an initial consultation, plan for the future project and work with Elizabeth as an equal partner during each step of the way toward completion of the dream project.

Elizabeth is dedicated to listening and paying close attention to her clients’ needs and desires. Based on her long time professional practice, Elizabeth brings two very important skills to bear: creating distinctive client-oriented architectural environment and managing all design and implementation phases of the process – the only way towards quality final product.

Elizabeth received her Master’s Degree in Architecture from the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy in Sofia, Bulgaria. For the last ten years of her professional practice (as a licensed architect) in Bulgaria, Elizabeth was engaged in historic preservation, renovation and adaptive reuse of architectural landmarks.
