Architecture is not only about design, it is about the way each of us experiences life

FIORE Architects is an Athens-based architectural practice founded in 2017 by Florian Liakos, Alexis Visvinis, and Irene Marcantonatou, graduates of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). The office operates across a wide spectrum of scales and typologies – from small-scale private commissions to large public and cultural projects – combining conceptual clarity with technical precision.

Since its foundation, FIORE Architects has actively participated in international architectural competitions, earning numerous awards — including five (5) first prizes, four (4) second prizes, two (2) third prizes, four (4) honorable mentions, and three (3) finalist distinctions, in large-scale projects ranging from 1,000 m² to 30,000 m². Among the most notable awarded projects are the D. Daskalopoulos Arts Building (Athens College – Psychico Campus), the Public Utility Complex in the Municipality of Thessaloniki, and the recently awarded Marios Tokas Museum in Cyprus — all large-scale projects currently in the construction phase.

Alongside its public work, the practice engages in the design of private residences and small-scale renovations in Athens, the Cyclades, Chios, and the Balkans, as well as hospitality projects in Tinos and Rhodes, which have been recognized at the DOMES Awards 2019.

FIORE Architects has participated in the 9th and 10th Biennale of Young Greek Architects, and received the First Honorable Mention at the DOMES Awards 2018 for their Kindergarten in Amsterdam. The firm’s work has been featured in international exhibitions, including the 85th Thessaloniki International Fair, and presented at both Greek and international conferences.
