The foundation of Western architecture cannot be told without citing the architectural legacy of Greece. From classical antiquity to today’s built environment, Greek structures and decorations are visible worldwide. Ancient Greek architecture is known for its formalized craft — the Classical orders, spatial scale, and harnessing line and light. This vocabulary has influenced countless architects of later periods, from Vitruvius to today’s contemporary designers. Evidence of Antique architecture can still be appreciated by visiting the countless archeological sites dispersed throughout the Greek mainland and surrounding islands.

After the fall of Constantinople, Ottoman architecture pervaded throughout Greek cities, most notably within new religious construction. Modern architecture eventually manifested in Greece, and influence from figureheads like Le Corbusier was embraced by Greek designers. Although conservatism was always sustained due to the nation’s unstable economic standing. The 20th century also birthed one of the most romanticized aesthetics of contemporary design: the whitewashed seaside home, otherwise known as Cycladic architecture.

Breeding an architectural vocabulary that is innovative, varied, and deeply attuned to the nation’s economic and cultural agenda, architects in Greece today are generating compelling programs (have you heard of the Greek typology ‘yposkafo‘?). Working with complex conditions, budgets, and a profuse history, today’s designers continuously explore through form, scale and material.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Greece based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

23. konstantinos stathopoulos | KRAK. architects

Our philosophy is: “Identity sprouts in cracks.” The essence lies in the ability of a work to give birth to its form, from its own needs and special characteristics, with respect to the past and responsibility for the future.

This requires love and a lot of passion. The environment in which we are called to act is often characterized by rigid habits and perceptions. But just as in the crack (KRAK.) of a rock we see a flower sprouting, so the architectural ideas hatch in these cracks. Every innovation is called upon to oppose a surplus of creative energy and knowledge with a firm stance against convenience, so that it finally begins to flourish.

A Guide to Project Awards

The blue “+” badge denotes that a project has won a prestigious A+Award as described above. Hovering over the badge reveals details of the award, including award category, year, and whether the project won the jury or popular choice award.

The orange Project of the Day and yellow Featured Project badges are awarded by Architizer’s Editorial team, and are selected based on a number of factors. The following factors increase a project’s likelihood of being featured or awarded Project of the Day status:

• Project completed within the last 3 years
• A well written, concise project description of at least 3 paragraphs
• Architectural design with a high level of both functional and aesthetic value
• High quality, in focus photographs
• At least 8 photographs of both the interior and exterior of the building
• Inclusion of architectural drawings and renderings
• Inclusion of construction photographs

There are 7 Projects of the Day each week and a further 31 Featured Projects. Each Project of the Day is published on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Stories, while each Featured Project is published on Facebook. Each Project of the Day also features in Architizer’s Weekly Projects Newsletter and shared with 170,000 subscribers.
