Petrās Architecture - Gelonos 11

PETRĀS architecture is an international award-winning architecture practice based in Athens, Greece. It was first established by Tsampikos K. Petrasin 2013 and has received several national and international awards. The architecture studio combines the most advanced technology along with traditional design techniques in order to answer to the timeless question of architecture as a place of experience and meaning. 

We seek an everlasting spatial experience through the simplicity and purity of materials, sustainable design and economy, where every building is in its context. Every project is a spatial experience for the senses and the mind, accomplishing communication and participation for all, without exceptions, in what we call culture and civilization.
