WE ARE ELENI & STEFFEN
We are inspired by international and national movements. We are enthusiastic about small and large scales of different nature and admire tradition, innovation, craftsmanship and technology at the same time. We are a mix between House Music and Punk, between Thai-Food and Greek-Cuisine.
Our focus is on the well-being of people and the efficient use of resources. For us, high-quality architecture means beauty, durability, permanence, sustainability, and the joy of using a building, regardless of the budget. Our proposed solutions are always diverse, open, adaptable and never rigid.
Our way of thinking is inclusive. The core of our work is the combination of fundamental functional and aesthetic requirements and depending on the client's individual wishes and needs. We achieve customized solutions from this collaboration and see this as the greatest potential for creating projects. As generalists, we accompany, plan, coordinate and organize the entire project from the initial discussions and preliminary designs to completion. By directly involving external specialists, we find comprehensive and holistic solutions. Our scientific and research activities at the university mean that we are always involved in new trends in the field of construction, as well as social, and spatial theories.
