Born in 1955, Skuratov graduated from The Moscow Architectural Institute in 1979[5] and started working as an architect at the Mezentsev Residential Design Institute (ЦНИИЭП жилища). In 1988, at the height of the Perestroika, he went to work for a private architecture studio, and in 2002 founded his own, Sergey Skuratov Architects.[6]
Skuratov and his team soon made a mark on Moscow architecture with the Copper House, the first building in Russia to be clad in patinated copper sheets, complemented by tilted sheets of green glass. The Copper House was awarded the Golden Section Award by the Union of Moscow Architects, was showcased at the Shchusev Museum of Architecture and received several other distinctions.[7]
Over the following two decades, Skuratov and his team designed - and oversaw the construction of - over 30 different buildings and entire blocks in Moscow.[8] Skuratov participated in the design of the Russian pavilion for the Venice Biennale of 2010.[9] The following year, his first skyscraper, a tower of characteristic twisted shape, was completed as part of the House on Mosfilmovskaya on the edge of the Sparrow Hills in Moscow.[10] At the same time, Skuratov co-authored the Monument to Joseph Brodsky with sculptor Georgy Frangulyan. Other notable projects included Danilovsky Fort[11], Art House[12], Capital Towers, and entire blocks of residential buildings at Sadovye Kvartaly[13] and at Sofiyskaya Embankment [14]
In 2015, Skuratov was elected member of the International Academy of Architecture.[15]
In 2025, it was announced that construction work on several blocks of residential buildings designed by Sergey Skuraytov Architects on the land of the former airport in Kazan would start in 2026.[16]
