Pieris.Architects

50 Years of Architectural Awareness 

The award-winning architectural firm Pieris. Architects, led by Constantinos, Stella, and Pieros Pieris, based in Athens with offices in Cyprus and the United Kingdom, has successfully completed projects in more than seven European countries. The company has a broad portfolio of projects of varying scales, including hotels, office buildings, urban regeneration, residential and cultural spaces, all of which are adapted to their urban, natural, and cultural environment.

Stella and Pieros Pieris joined the firm in 2004, having completed their academic and professional studies in London. They are proud of the legacy and vision of founder Constantinos Pieris, who established Pieris Architects in 1974. Five decades later, Pieris.Architects is among the most innovative and internationally recognized Greek architectural firms.

Each of their projects embodies the philosophy of eco-emotional intelligence, an architectural approach that combines sustainable design, emotional experience, and meaningful human contact with nature. Pieris.Architects create spaces that serve not only as shelters, but also as training grounds for a more conscious, sustainable everyday life. A prime example is the Tella Thera Hotel in Crete, a place where landscape, culture, and contemporary design coexist, creating an authentic hospitality experience.
