INSiDE Architects is a full service Architecture - Interior Design - Construction practice, founded by Christianna Perntetzi in 2018 after many years of working in the design industry.. Our approach produces a unique experience, through all the stages of each project, allowing us to achieve the holistic sense of experience across the range of spatial qualities within every project. This approach is applied to large scale projects or to specific elements and stages of a project, depending on our client's needs. The creative base of the practice is located in Athens and works with a multidisciplinary team that consists of highly qualified architects, structural engineers, interior designers as well as coordinates with contractors, craftsmen and landscapers
Our design approach is developed to be collaborative and environmentally sensitive based upon aesthetic and functional criteria, adapted to the site, the brief and the budget of each project.
We focus on the relationship between the building and the surroundings, the balance of volumes, the quality of the light, the combination of different materials by always investigating the creative interaction between detail and overview.
As a general belief for us each project should be unique, and be treated individually giving emphasis to the high architecture quality. We work closely with each client to establish new and better ways with the perception for a whole practical and spatial experience so that space becomes personal. Employing advancement in design, material fittings and construction technology each project for us is a valuable journey, with an enjoyable and challenging process which we improve every time.
