Philosophy.

 

Nk-Architecture is an Athens based multidisciplinary architecture practice committed to both whimsical experimentation and vigorous research. Founded by Nikos and Nikos Kalantzopoulos in 2020, the studio’s interests are not defined by a particular project type, but rather by a strong commitment in creating alternative territories, environments, and objects with cultural resonance.

By reimagining existing ideas around program and function, we explore how the creation of environments and objects inspires lasting positive intellectual and social engagement. Beyond a highly collaborative and iterative process, we interpret client needs into design strategies through a loose exchange of forms and ideas. Hence, while overlooking today’s opportunities and constraints, we reimagine our existing built environment.
