Chara Christodoulaki & Associates
About the Practice
Chara Christodoulaki & Associates work across architecture, project management, construction management, and sustainable development strategies. The practice is built on the belief that a project affects not only the life quality of its individual user, but also the aspects quality and development of the environment & community it is placed in.
Chara Christodoulaki is an Architect Engineer with a MEng at the University of Patras, Greece, whose path has combined hands-on design on international projects in Brussels, Belgium, with years of construction expertise on high-end residential projects within hospitality resorts. Holding an Executive MBA at the Universitat de Barcelona, Spain (p. OBS Business School), and a MSc in Tourism Destination & Tourism Business Management at the University of Patras, Greece shapes the way the practice works with a multidimensional viewpoint through Architecture, Business & Sustainable Development.

Network
Behind the practice is a trusted network of engineers, contractors, and consultants, built over years of working together on complex, high-standard developments. This network allows projects to be taken on at different scales and in different places (e.g Kalamata, Attica, Crete, Ioannina), without ever losing sight of quality.
Principles
A design, regardless the scale, affects its landscape, its neighbours, and its community. This is a responsibility that follows the creative process along the way.
Sustainability is treated as a pivot point and not supplementory. Materials, siting, and lifecycle are considered from the first drawn line.
Aesthetics and ethics are not treated as separate concerns.
