Practice History
Practice History
We have been working since 1962, when visionary architect Diomedes Kythreotis, established the architectural practice of Zembylas & Kythreotis, alongside Takis Zembylas.
In the dynamic and ever-changing world of architecture, where trends evolve, and design philosophies shift, the existence of an architecture firm for over 60 years is a testament to its enduring excellence.
We have weathered economic downturns, industry shifts, and technological revolutions, consistently reinventing the way we work, by embracing challenging changes, and succeeding to emerge as comprehensive solution providers, excelling in, architectural design, navigating complicated planning laws and regulations, overseeing construction, spearheading developments, and strategically engaging in investments.
