ABOUT
The architectural office LB architects was founded in 2010 by Leonidas Beis, architectural engineer of N.T.U.A. It is basically a development of the architectural-technical office Beis & Associates (www.beisnet.com), which began its activity in 1977 under the name “Beis-Papanargyrou - technical office”.
LB architects team consists of engineer architects and their main line of work is around design and architecture. So far, it has devised studies for residencies, hotels, factories, office buildings, museums, exhibitions, etc. most of which are already implemented works.
The main goal of the office is for the architecture to always be adapted to the final user’s needs, but at the same time highlighting the hidden aspects of the architectural design that make each project unique. We believe that the right architecture is the one that can "take off" any architectural project, so that it is functional, sustainable and through its design, to offer the final user the ultimate experiential experience of the space.
The most contemporary softwares of architectural design and 3D modeling (Building Information Modeling - BIM technology), are used in order to better understand the architectural proposal. This way our clients can "walk" inside their building, before it is built, and thus understand with great precision what it will be like when it will be build.
