“The nature of building is letting dwell.”

— Martin Heidegger, Building Dwelling Thinking, 1971

about

NAMA architects is an Athens-based architectural practice that aims to create bespoke living spaces where neither form nor function follows one another. Via the architectural design process, we strive to achieve a high level of quality in design and materials, while keeping a low cost in construction. Sustainable and energy-efficient solutions are an integral part of our design process. Hence, we create low-carbon-footprint constructions that ensure its inhabitants a healthier life.

We are of the opinion that architecture can be memorable even if it’s not monumental. That's why we assert that the anonymous marvels of architecture made by local craftsmen all over the world, who have deeply enhanced the characteristics of their land and their environment, are exemplary and always up-to-date.

We believe architecture should primarily serve the physical and spiritual needs of people and communities, not their status quo.

We keep an open mind and learn new things every day!
