Architectural Researches

A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR COMPANY’S ARCHITECTURAL RESEARCHES

-Comprehensive solutions in the field of building construction
-In accordance always with the restrictions of the Greek market as well as and the urban planning and building legislation
-Determination of building functions, preliminary architectural design, alternative solutions, final architectural study, and implementation study
-Our company’s basic principle when designing an architectural project is to analyze the client’s needs.
-The aim is to achieve full integration into the natural environment.
-Design in accordance with the principles of bioclimatic design and maximum energy efficiency
-Our company carries out building studies, special building studies, intervention studies, and maintenance studies for historic and listed buildings.
-Our company’s architecture department has fully trained and experienced staff who are well versed in building legislation and are constantly updated on developments
-We offer the option of designing in the software program of your choice at an additional cost if our programs do not meet your needs
-City Engineering’s more than 16 years of experience in the design and composition of architectural studies is key to finding the right solutions. With technologically advanced design solutions, JK
-The architectural study includes a coverage diagram, elevations, floor plans, a technical description of all materials and technologies used, as well as design details where required.
-The design of buildings begins with the architectural study. The architectural design must meet the owner’s dreams and requirements and comply with the provisions of the General Building Regulations (G.O.K.) and the Building Regulations.
-The architectural study specifies the floor plan, dimensions, and layout of the building’s interior spaces in order to fulfill the client’s wishes to the greatest extent possible.
-The appropriate position and orientation of the building within the plot are also determined, and the openings are appropriately designed and positioned according to orientation in order to achieve optimal natural lighting and ventilation.
-With the recent implementation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulation, architectural design must also take climatic data into account in order to improve living conditions inside the building and make its operation more environmentally friendly.
-The architectural design must be carried out by individuals with the appropriate knowledge and training. A comprehensive architectural study, apart from the aesthetic aspect, must be consistent with the structural study, the study of the electromechanical installations, as well as the studies of the building’s energy efficiency, fire protection, and sound insulation.
-For us, designing each new building is not a routine task, but another opportunity for creativity.
-For matters not regulated by Greek regulations, internationally accepted foreign regulations may be used with the approval of the competent authority.
-We determine the construction costs in detail. We offer solutions that significantly improve the functionality of the project and the cost-benefit ratio. We monitor technological developments and continuously enrich and improve our technical design and production infrastructure.

PROCEDURE- STAGES

1.STUDY OF PURPOSE

We investigate the characteristics of the plot, the area, the economic conditions and the microclimate

2. ARCHITECTURAL PRELIMINARY DESIGN

Once all specifications have been defined, we proceed to the design stage, presenting variations using modern imaging techniques.

3. FINAL STUDY

Once the structure and form of the building have been decided upon through extensive preliminary studies, it is designed with precision and in the appropriate manner so that it can be submitted for approval by the town planning department or the client.

4. APPLICATION STUDY

Architectural implementation studies are created to determine all the construction details required to implement the study in a real building.
