We are an architectural design practice that is working on a wide scope of projects inspired by the interest in advanced digital design techniques for the development of innovative, sustainable and structurally efficient architectural designs. Each project is approached as a territory transformed by the parameters of urban, physical and sociocultural context, programmatic and interior requirements, materiality and tectonics. Research is integral part of the firm’s methodology incorporating information from other engineering disciplines for the integration of innovative construction techniques and structural parameters in architectural design. The practice has received fourteen awards in International architectural competitions including five 1st awards. EP Architects gained considerable international attention when the T. Papadopoulos Footbridge in Pafos received the Special Judges’ Recognition at the International 2013 MIPIM Architectural Review Future Project Awards competition.

Cypriot urban fabric

Several waves of urbanization in Cypriot cities since 1920s in combination with the absence of urban design strategy have led to their expansion on the basis of detached houses. This has produced dysfunctional urban density for the development of public infrastructures while the shopping malls at the cities outskirts have led to the decline of commercial centres. Hence, with the design of unified residential developments we demonstrate solutions with density and urban functionality where the introduction of shared space, linear parks and cycling routes will manifest with the vitality of urban public space.
