The Kalyvides Partnership is an architectural and urban design practice established in 1994 by Tryfon Kalyvides. The practice's activities focus on Master Planning, Urban Design and Architecture. The fundamental aim of The Kalyvides Partnership is design excellence and making places. Our passion is great design with pure imagination maintaining a consistent design philosophy withstanding the test of time based on ideas, not styles or trends. Architecture is primarily a quest for beauty but also has roots in human everyday living and grows naturally through a quest for ideas and answers and a passion for finding solutions and opportunities to difficult and complex problems. This activity combines creative thinking with technical knowledge and expertise. Architecture is spirited fun creating buildings that perform as well as excite founded upon an appreciation of social and environmental context and evolves through rigorous inquiry into the particulars of the brief requirements, location and context to produce distinct and specific buildings for individual sites.
