NOA (NotOnlyArchitecture) is operating within the field of architecture and not only! Through practice, experimentation and research, we are building up a portfolio of design projects that span every scale and aspect of life, varying from living and working environments or artwork curation to graphic design products and customized objects.<\/p>\n
NOA\u2019s approach on the development of each project is focused on the consideration of the program: the clients\u2019 needs and economic frame, as well as on the understanding of its physical and socio-cultural context. Within this frame NOA is working on a close collaboration between all parties involved, orchestrating a creative dialogue between clients\u2019 requirements and consultants\u2019 expertise for the best outcome.<\/p>\n
Since the establishment of the studio in 2011, in Nicosia, the office has designed and built projects that vary in scale from that of a singular residence to the bigger scale of a multi complex land development, housing different program requirements every time.<\/p>\n
The latest completed project of NOA has been selected to represent Cyprus to the Mies Van Der Rohe Architecture Awards in 2022. The office has been also participating in various local-based architectural competitions and receives awards and honourable mentions. NOA received honourable mentions to the following competitions that involved: the design of Social Housing in Larnaca, the re-design of the Iroon Square in Limassol and the creation of Nodal Service Points in National Forest Park of Akamas. Moreover, NOA Architects have been awarded the first prize for the creation of the Cultural Village of Lemba, in Pafos.<\/p>\n
