professional experience (2007)

The professional experience mainly involved the design of industrial, residential and office buildings. Most of the projects were located in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece and in small towns around it. Some of buildings were constructed for private owners and some other for construction companies. Every project was designed based on guidelines provided by the government and the needs of the employer.

Residential buildings are the most widespread field of architecture in Greece. They are built for private owners but mostly for construction companies. One of the biggest projects I was involved in was the design of a small settlement of 35 residencies. The settlement was located in Kardia, a small town near the city of Thessaloniki. The employer was a big construction company, KATETH, that bought the land and wanted to construct residencies in order to sell them to private owners. The residencies are developed in 3 levels, basement, ground floor and 1st floor. They are equipped with all installations and infrastructure needed for a residential building. All of them have individual parking spaces and private open spaces. One of the most important parameters that was taken into account during the design process was to create spaces and a living environment that would offer a good standard of living to the inhabitants at a minimum cost.

In Greece industrial projects are mainly constructed for private owners that wish to accommodate their business. A representative project is a furniture industry located at Kabalari, a small village on the outskirts of the city of Thessaloniki. The building program required a working space for the staff, offices for the executives and a small exhibition area. Main concern during the design process was the organization of the machines in order for the working area to function properly. The exhibition area is organized together with the offices offering a better service to the clients. The building is constructed by metal framework and metallic panels.
