Muza Konsulova was born in 1921 in the village of Romanivka, Donetsk region, Ukraine. She graduated from Moscow Architectural Institute in 1946, where she studied under former Constructivist Mikhail Barsch, and Boris Barkhin, among others. Having moved to Lviv following the graduation, since 1947, Konsulova worked as an architect at the Lviv branch of Dipromisto Institute.
In 1951-1957, Konsulova was enrolled in the doctoral program at the Research Institute of Architectural Structures of the Academy of Civil Engineering in Kyiv. In 1963, she defended her dissertation “Low-rise apartment buildings with apartments on two levels.”
Since 1966, Konsulova taught at the Department of Architecture of Lviv Polytechnic Institute, for which she also designed two buildings. In 1978, she was awarded the prize of the Council of Ministers of the USSR for her design of the Energy Department of Lviv Polytechnic.
Konsulova was married to the architect Anatoly Konsulov. Their daughter Natalya (b.1948), also became an architect. Konsulova died in 2019 in Moscow.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Konsulova was involved in the design of public and residential buildings in Lviv. During this time, she designed a restaurant in the Bohdan Khmelnytsky Central Park of Culture and Leisure, a cafeteria in the Stryi Park in Lviv (1953-56, with Anatoly Konsulov), and an experimental residential building with two-level apartments for the Agricultural Exposition in Kyiv (1960). Her project for the new square in front of Lviv Opera House (1951-52) remained unrealized. In 1955–1957, she co-authored a 7-story residential building on the street 700th Lviv anniversary (now V. Chornovol Avenue) with V. Goldstein.
Beginning in 1966, Konsulova worked on the design of buildings for Lviv Polytechnic Institute: the General Technical Department building on O. Nevsky street (now the street of Metropolitan Andrew) and the building of the Department of Energy on the Myru street (now Stepan Bandera street).
With her students, during the 1970s, she worked on the projects of restoration of historic castles of the Lviv region, including those in Olesk, Pidhirtsi, Zolochiv, Svirzh, and Stary Selo.
