alexandra stratou + stella konstantinidis = askarchitects

We founded our practice askarchitects in Athens in 2006. We had previously collaborated as founding members of D.A.ST arteam in land art projects and proposals, notably Desert Breath, a land art installation in the Red sea Desert, whose construction was completed in 1997. Our practice encompasses projects in the Art, Architecture, Design and Urban context. Our approach is based on the site specific and we place a lot of significance on materiality and spatial experience. Since 2006 we have worked closely with our clients to complete residential and commercial projects, we have worked on our own product lines, and have participated in Art and Design exhibitions as well as Urban design competitions. We strongly believe that the materiality that surrounds us is central to the way we experience our lives and participate in defining contemporary culture.
