DZA is a
practice based in Athens, Greece. Our interest lies in the interaction between
human practices and the environment, and the way this knowledge can inform new
architectural spaces and their construction. We believe in the capacity of
architecture for change and the significant positive impact it can have in the
organization of human life. We adhere to the view that there is no such thing
as ‘pure nature’, only different degrees of historical symbiosis, and it is
this holistic approach that guides our architectural thinking. Projects
completed include homes of different sizes, work spaces, leisure buildings, as
well as landscaping projects and urban rehabilitation.The
practice has received two Awards. Best Hotel Design at the European Hotel
Design Awards, Sleeper 2007 and 3rd prize at the Competition for
Theatrou Square in central Athens in 2011.Work
has been published in Domes, Ktirio, Yatzer, Conde Nast Traveller, Elle
Decoration, Vogue and elsewhere.
