I am a practicing architect based in Cyprus and doctoral student at the Univeersity of Oxford reading Sustainable Urban Development. I have graduated with distinction from the University of Cambridge in Architecture and Urban Design and from the University of Sheffield in Architecture. My master’s thesis research was honoured with the Susan and Geoffrey Twining Egginton Scholarship from Downing College and the UCF/IAMCR Urban Communication Research Grant in 2017. I recently taught Design Studio at the University of Cyprus and I teach Design Research Methods on a postgraduate level at the Cyprus University of Technology as well as co-supervise and guest reviews diploma and studio projects in Architecture. 

I believe in a philosophy that entails design as an interdisciplinary, collective effort to respond to contemporary needs and future issues. A great design is the result of collaborative work combined with passionate, innivative, sensitive values that transforms a place or a space into a unique solution that responds to human needs.

Concept Methodology, Design, and Passion

Architect

Naval Architect

architecture of place, architecture of context,

architecture of absence as creating architecture invisible / little visible in space (emptiness in architecture)

Focused on the very essence of inclusion and accessibility of urban fabrics to people all ages, colours, abilities and gender. Focused on the colourful architectural prospect which manifests itself over the face of our cities through accessible and inclusive design. 

My design focus is to fulfil the clients requirements, expectations and goal achievement through creativity, ease of process and value. 

I belived in the principle that interior is for the users and exterior is for the public. Architecture is the reflection of ones culture and history. Architecture is developed and evolved out of the local culture, climate, materials, and  context. So, architects need to design respecting the local context, local culture and local history.

So, my focus is on searching for the locally focussed architecture in this global architecture.
