CV Architects+Associates

Our Story

CV Architects is a team with nearly 10 years of professional practice, which has completed a series of projects including from small to large scale structures and developments. Their work is emphasized on nature and sustainability followed by minimal design and their ideal of making a place for individuals within the landscape. They draw inspiration for architecture from culturally diverse sources, including meditteranean tradition. Their projects range from houses to public and commercial buildings, in Cyprus.

We at CVArchitects search for strong design concepts and relied on a simple formal vocabulary, but with a parallel expressive use of materials that highlight sensibility. We try our work to make a balance between new spatial concepts and existing context: culture, tradition, urban morphology. We refer to a design with clean modernist elements such as slick, clean, and shinny surfaces and develope a particular interest in exploring the relationship between the inside and outside. We believe that the success of the designs are measured by the degree to which they expand access to the fundamental human right to a healthy and a sustainable environment. This environment for us means natural light, natural breathing of the building and a low-cost and efficient structure. We also believe that architectural design can and should elevate the public realm, with a holistic approach that combines playful experimentation and an ethos of social responsibility.
