If it doesn’t move you, than it’s not art or you’re not in… The aesthetic in architecture is the main guiding force.

As Richard Meier, the internationally acclaimed European architect puts it “Architecture is art, every work is a work of art. Architecture is the greatest of the arts, and it encompasses thinking that other arts don’t even deal with. Like relationship of the work to the individual human being – the person who uses it; the person who experiences it; the person who sees it; and how the person perceives space. There’s an old adage that a sculptor can make a square wheel, and an architect has to make a round one. There is a certain responsibility not just to the client for whom the work is built, not just to the people using the building, but to the public at large with what is being done.”

Meier concludes “Well I don’t say all buildings are architecture ….. There are lots of buildings that have nothing to do with architecture. They have to do with economics. They have to do with an enclosure, but I wouldn’t consider them works of architecture. …… a work of architecture is a work of art.”

We have grown into the precious heritage of appreciation; music, paintings, sculpture and literature bring us real joy. Yet, there is this enormous source of artistic pleasure of which only too few are aware, which all too many of us daily pass by blindly, to be found in the buildings all round us.

Architecture of all the arts is the one most continually manifested before our eyes. Used as a medium to give all other forms of art, their pride of place, Architecture has immense potential to create pleasurable moments to our lives of constant hustle and bustle.

Let us enjoy it as a work of art and not of business!

The framework of the site was built on the principle to make the end product a valuable informative & marketing tool.

During the phases of development a special attention was directed toward the color scheme and the navigation area which expanded to a wide width. The site’s main feature is the active catalogue photo gallery in addition to the more common sections (About, Contact..etc.).

Overall the final layout site suggests a clean design using short, php/html coding that is search engine friendly and CSS formatted emphasizing on the corporate identity of the group.

The brief was to design a contemporary, trendy yet practical space where the family can enjoy living together and receiving fiends and parents.

The main concept was based on developing simple and elegant rooms. Thus the space was full of grooved oak elements coupled with full height wallpapers to create a pleasant feeling of warmth and spaciousness with battered details in the manifestation of the carpets. Additionally and to reflect the cheerful spirit of the owners bright paint colors were extensively used encouraging eye-adaptation and space homogeneity.

Flooring essentially depended on on large tiles while the modern and classy furniture was selectively incorporated to create a super look!

Here below the first views illustrating the concept.

We illustrated several concepts in a focused  attempt to give the new logo a true meaning of the Company’s values. The much anticipated and challenged result was a logo with an attitude, soliciting respect and expressing the juvenile and evolving nature of the Company.

Below are the first conceptual design and some photographs from the area.
