A31 is a transdisciplinary group of visionary architects, designers and engineers, creating prominent spaces which are tailored to the needs of the people as well as the land and the setting concerned.
The function of Α31 is based on that exact union of art and science, on the juncture of craftsmanship and technique which permits the generation of work that meets the requirements so as to satisfy people’s true needs, while also pleasing their aesthetic criteria.
Α31 gets established in 2002, when Praxitelis Kondylis, an up-and-coming young architect with rich academic qualifications and experience in architectural firms abroad, decides to create his own practice back in Athens.
Soon enough, A31 architecture undertakes design and construction projects, industrial design builidings, as well as interior design ventures – starting with Athens, and expanding its work elsewhere in Greece and Cyprus. In 2007, the organogram of the firm gets enriched with the addition of Panagiotis Karras, Civil Engineer, which leads to the formation of Α31 Architecture & Construction, which completes the form of the practice and the services it provides.
Quite soon, A31 becomes a creative transdisciplinary group of architects, designers and engineers. Focusing on functionality and soundness of engineering, A31 still creates spaces which are characterised by clean-cut layout and honest construction, tailored to the needs of people as well as the land and the setting concerned.
Its work has received several awards and distinctions in international competitions, while it has also been exhibited in museums and public spaces in Athens, Barcelona, Budapest, Bilbao, Nicosia and Piran. Articles and work of A31 has been published both in Greek and international press.
