Katerina StavridiThe office KOM37-Architects was founded in 2000. Following previous collaborations, in architectural offices and joint participations in architectural competitions, Manolis Votsis, Filippos Gerontakis and Irini Kantiani created the initial collaborative scheme of the office. The departure of Irini Kantiani was followed by the inclusion of Dimitra Bouga and a little later Antonis Krasas. This study scheme was maintained for about fifteen years. Today, KOM37-Architects remain in their original headquarters, in Neapolis, Athens, and now consist of Manolis Votsis, Antonis Krasas, Christina Parakente and Katerina Stavridi. The collaboration in recent years with Kostas Ragousis has strengthened the design team of the office.
Throughout the years of operation of the office, two main goals were claimed and achieved. The first concerns the quality of the architectural design and construction produced. The achievement of this goal is recorded in publications, participation in exhibitions and awards in architectural competitions. The second objective concerns the quality of cooperation both between the members of the collaborating scheme and with the network of external partners. The skills of the team members and the occasional collaborators expanded the possibilities of managing different projects, in scale and content. Recognizing the complexity of the subjects, where specialized knowledge and experience is essential, cooperation with external partners of various specialties is constantly sought. On this basis, the KOM37 Network was created.
The office KOM37-Architects covered almost the entire range of architectural applications. It gained recognition with the implementation of numerous projects for the restoration of monuments and listed buildings, the renovation and reuse of existing buildings, the public spaces regeneration, the configuration of play areas, programmatic plans for urban areas and port infrastructure.
