The development of the concept is based on two linked volumes parallel to one side of the site, in dialogue with the particular nature of the immediate context, addressing the site boundaries and movement. Responding to the orientation, views, wind direction, and the seasonal changes of the landscape, the complex opens up or closes, developing each time a different appearance, as the transition from the natural to the built environment establishes a system of visual and conceptual relationships and parameters that inherently affect the architectural space.

Potiropoulos+Partners is the 2015 rebranding of Potiropoulos D+L Architects to include younger partners and reflect the international point of view on the future of the built environment. The practice was originally founded in 1989 by Dimitris Potiropoulos and Liana Nella-Potiropoulou and has established itself as one of Greece’s foremost architectural firms, with studios based in Athens and London. Today its strong team of highly creative and talented architects and designers addresses the world market, providing full services in design, supervision and consulting across the spectrum and in all scales of architecture and urban design. Memorable architecture based on creativity, research, innovation and excellence is the firm’s defining tradition delivering the highest quality projects for its clients.

An architecture that is concise but nevertheless narrative, familiar and at the same time unexpected, definite but also inventive; is what we believe forms a public contribution. An architectural way of thinking which aims to include instead of exclude, to explore and also sensitize, in contradiction to a static, mute architecture.
