Ideas towards Architecture

Architecture 

Architecture is what makes humanity better. Fine Architecture practice can make a difference in better people thus better living. Human behaviour is always  reflecting space circumstances. 

Respect towards different personality

We design spaces with a basic notion: respect of the human need or desire towards beauty and quality of living. Taking into consideration the human desire Our clients special character and uniqueness makes every design product a "one of a kind" piece. The client/ inhabitant is encouraged and engaged into the design process and enjoys the procedure of architectural practice. We aim to educate people not only into architecture but also into aesthetics, logic and efficiency.

Expensive and Cheap

Quality design has nothing to do with budget. It has to do with forms and functions - possibilities of customs and ethics. Sensible, modest, smart and practical ideas are combined into architecture taking into consideration everyone's possibilities of budget. Our practices are of the same importance no matter the level of budget. Design process is applied for the finest architectural result in any circumstance. 

Sustainability into design

Environmental change is affecting architecture - we engage the needs of sustainability into architectural concept ideas. Location, orientation and special climate characteristics affect our decision ideas upon design.

Contemporary living

Through our projects we celebrate new technologies, new materials and ideas for a fine contemporary result in architecture. We experiment into new architectural expressions through all the new technology knowledge concerning construction. Our clients' customs reflect architectural ideas. Modern habits are encouraged into design in a variety of ways according to program. 

Contemporary markets - public or private development

Architecture is a political action if applied in a greater scale. As a market product has to be forthcoming and successful  according to whom it refers to. We make sure that our clients (public or private development sectors) acquire advanced architectural products concerning urban development projects, big scale complexes, social spaces etc.  Built environments of greater scale that we design propose  possibilities for social, cultural and economic development. 

Built Spaces - Instances of multiple disciplines

Architecture is fascinating because it is restless. Design process can be limitless, and basically never ends. The architectural product (build space) is only an instance of a continuous "synthesis" of several elements  - program, location, environment, place, culture, function, technology, materiality, aesthetics, forms and imagination.
