CAREER GOAL
The ultimate goal in our projects is to upgrade the living conditions in a qualitative small or large built environment with timeless solutions that offer the best value for money. Solutions that meet high and specialized specifications of functionality, aesthetics and construction details.
Our professional activities started in 1975 in the fields of Interior Architecture and Interior Design on projects for Residential and Commercial use. Today, our continuing professional experience is complemented with modern approaches and innovative applications of technology. The outcome gives us the ability to create residential spaces, apartments, private residences and villas that satisfy both functionality needs and aesthetic expectations of the user. Commercial spaces such as hotels, spas, travel agencies, companies, offices, shops, medical centers, convention centers for social events, as well as dining and entertainment venues such as restaurants, bars and cafés have special operational requirements.
The diverse styles in Interior Architecture and Interior Design such as the minimalist, the neoclassical, the Greek style of the countryside, the French or the English style (Greek, French, English country style), occur in different forms depending on the country that appear, giving the user the potential choice. The style that will be applied on the project defines the design context in which we will act. The styles, in addition to their typology to which they belong (modernism, classicism etc.), are defined with features of design which are not fixed. They vary depending on the location, time and space, as well as the ability of the designers. Thus, morphology is described with a set of features which define the style.
Architecture together with Interior Architecture and Interior Design are required to have close relationship of mutual acceptance among them in terms of functionality, aesthetics, and morphology of the interiors and the building. To achieve this relationship effectively, it requires cooperation of these fields from the initial stage of design on new construction or reconstruction projects.
The team of our partners with practical and communication skills increase the development efficiency of the design and implementation of the projects that we undertake. The skill set of each partner helps to process the project objectives so that their outcome fully meets the needs and the expectations of the client. Our team is composed of interior architects, interior designers, 3D CAD design specialists, architects, landscape architects and civil engineers, as well as professionals specialized in lighting, automation, security and audio-visual systems.
