Working on several different projects including residential, commercial and public spaces, the firm has continued to provide innovative solutions based on their clients’ needs and budget. The firm’s mission as architects has always been to create unique and functional spaces through their careful planning and design. With fierce competition facing the firm, the team is always looking into how they can develop their skills and experience.

Offering Fresh Design Ideas Based in Nicosia, Cyprus, Dias Architects is an experienced team of architectural designers who have served the needs of their clients since 2009. Recently, we caught up with Demetris Ioannou to find out more about the company and its plans going forward to deliver one of the most outstanding range of innovative design solutions in Cyprus. A “We never stop working on a design, always looking to make improvements if we can. Being critical of our own designs is key to our learning development, evolving as professionals, and always coming up with something innovative, fresh and most importantly original. Architecture, as we understand and practice it, is an instrument for processing and linking functions, needs, visions and cost concerns. It has the power to shape our collective future, thus pushing us to be more creative and more innovative through time.” Like any other firm, recruitment plays a very important part in Dias Architects company culture, as it is a chance to bring in and enrich their process with fresh ideas from new people. It is important for the business to have architects with different educational backgrounds, from all over the world, in order to exchange ideas and knowledge. The firm usually seeks young architects with passion, distinct voice and integrity that love dogs and can still creatively work after a long, Frank Sinatra-accompanied, day. Despite the company’s position as one of the leading Cypriot firms in architectural design, Dias Architects have faced several challenges in recent times. The economic crisis in Cyprus was a demanding period for the construction sector, but the business was able to overcome it and evolve as a firm through their hard work, professionalism and integrity. It was extra inspiring for the team as designers, since their designs had to correspond to the budget of each client, without compromising quality nor functionality. Going forward, Dias Architects’ main plan is to win the lottery, become millionaires and travel the world in their private jet! All joking aside, their goal is to explore new territories and test their boundaries design-wise, as well as in any area related to construction. A new year is always a good opportunity for anyone to refocus and be reminded of their resolutions that can be forgotten due to day-to-day life and commitments, and that is how they, at Dias Architects, navigate through this period. Therefore, their goal for 2020 and beyond is to tread into unchartered territories learning new things, all the while perfecting what they do.
