KLAB ARCHITECTURE

About the Company

KLAB architecture (kinetic lab of architecture, was founded in 2001 by Konstantinos Labrinopoulos.

It is an international group of highly qualified and motivated architects who seek opportunities to create

unique and intriguing urban events.

KLAB architecture is able to deal with a diverse field of projects, from large planning schemes to small

design objects

KLAB architecture finds inspiration in the interconnection and juxtaposition of everyday things in life. It combines the ephemeral with the diachronic, the classic with the modern, natural with artificial landscapes, large with small scales, conventional and experimental materials.

The aspiration of KLAB architecture has always been: to create as artists and to implement as scientists. Freedom of inspiration, originality in design and strict project implementation are the principles that drive the office’s continuous development.

Everyday research is integral to high-quality innovative and functional design. Every client is unique and poses a new and interesting challenge for the office members, who engage in an active dialogue with the client at every stage of the building process. Every project is

tailor-made to the requirements and aspirations of the client.

KLAB architecture aims to produce high-quality architecture that broadens the mind and expands the potential of the architectural practice through unique approaches.

KLAB architecture is from 2010 operating both in U.K and in Greece, with an office in London.

KLAB architecture has designed many  prominent projects as the Olympic Museum of Athens, the special

school for Autistic kids in Glyfada , EY headquorters in Athens and is currently working for ALPHA Bank
