SHORT DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE OFFICE

Vardastudio’s design agenda is focused on two points: a clear architectural response to the site and the client’s brief, and simplicity in form. Each project is tackled in a unique way, and becomes a direct response to its environmental conditions; an integral part of the landscape. The studio’s work includes a number of individual houses, housing developments, as well as public buildings and competitions. The practice has earned many awards in competitions as well as the Republic of Cyprus President’s award.
