Our History

Established in 1992, OIKOS Architects has built a reputation for delivering high-quality architectural designs that cater to the specific needs of our clients. With a diverse range of commissions under our belt, including large commercial projects, residential and hotel developments, and specialized heritage conservation projects, we have developed a unique understanding of what makes a building a true dwelling.

Our Approach

Our design approach is centered around the concept of creating buildings that are more than just physical structures - they are dwellings that enrich the lives of their occupants. We believe that each project requires a unique and tailored solution that addresses the specific needs and aspirations of our clients. By taking a holistic approach to design, we strive to create buildings that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, sustainable, and environmentally responsible.

Heritage Work

At OIKOS Architects, we have a deep appreciation for heritage conservation and have worked on numerous projects that involve the restoration and adaptive reuse of historic buildings.
