The studio was founded in 2011 by Lukas Rungger and Stefan Rier in Bolzano (Italy); in 2018 a second office was inaugurated in Berlin (Germany). Noa * is a network of young architects and designers, which explores an interdisciplinary approach to each project and a holistic strategy for constructive and material choices. The dialogue with the landscape is an important aspect for all of noa*’s work, which interprets the alpine tradition according to a contemporary language aimed at a continuous aesthetic and formal research. Recently Dezeen, one of the most important and influential websites of design and architecture, has included noa*’s studio in South Tyrol in the short list of the 20 emerging architecture studios of 2108 on an international level.

Christos Pavlou architecture studio was found by Christos Pavlou in 2003 and is based in Nicosia, Cyprus. Is a small studio but we do know how to take care of our clients in a very personal and friendly manner. Our practice is focused on housing, commercial as well as interior architecture.

We listen, we search, we learn, we design. We are aware of and sensible to the environment, the land parameters, the specific site views, the climate conditions and the needs of our customers. Our projects are distinguished by their formal simplicity, the integration of inside-outside, the contrasting realities and the in-between zones. Our architecture is driven by the need of solving a complex program in a simple and clear manner. Our language is based on define, simple forms aiming to express the collective memory of a specific culture. Having said that forms do not always provide ready-made solutions but they are rediscovered during the design process. It is a stage by stage approach which allows the build-up of different special relationships and smooth transitions between spaces. Energy efficiency, automation technology, sustainability and ecological designs are part of our working procedure.
