Eraclis Papachristou Architectural Office

We see architecture as the composition of all elements that define a particular space and inform the character of a building at the time it is conceived: its structure, its form, function and perception.

In order to ensure that buildings do not end up as objects it is important to also investigate them from the inside out, to see how the interior, its definition and inhabitation influence what might be defined as skin, envelope.

With the increasing scale of current projects it is imperative that the urban impact of such interventions is explored to the full. We are maybe no longer the social creatures of the courageous sixties but at the same time it is essential that we remain fully aware of the consequences of our tectonic actions.

Attaching to infrastructure, social networks and market forces is not where the design of interaction ends. We consider it important that external spaces, the extensions beyond the built volumes are also addressed as a part of the design.

With the international nature of the profession enjoying a sharp increase, even at the scale of Cyprus, project management has become a significant part of architecture. The translation of concept, drawing and vision into tactile tectonics is a demanding process.

Architecture is not autonomous or self-contained. The office works with a wide range of other disciplines and considers the establishment of a strong team of Cyprus architects at this level paramount to experience, consistency, efficiency and positive results.
