DRAFT WORKS*
draftworks* architects was founded in London in 2006 by Christiana Ioannou and Christos Papastergiou and is currently based in Nicosia and Athens. The team crafts, documents and communicates new ideas by drawings, images, model making and text while sharing interests between public competitions, private commissions, exhibitions, design research and academic teaching. With 15 years of experience in architectural projects and design research we have developed expertise in various scales and for various architectural programmes such as private housing, public buildings, public spaces, building construction as well as landscape design. We have a particular interest in the synergy that each project develops with its urban context, as well as the detail and materiality that will identify and distinguish it. Our approach is user-oriented and our research for a project always begins by placing the needs of the user. If you seek for architectural design that is innovative, unique and user-oriented you can benefit from approach and our thorough and dedicated way of working. With an experienced group of collaborators we can cover every practical aspect and have the capacity to deliver any stage of a project. Please spend a few minutes to browse through our portfolio. You can find further information and many more samples of work in our website. We would be delighted to collaborate with you in the exiting projects of your company. We look forward to meeting you and explain further our work.

House CC Private house with four miniature gardens in Nicosia SIZE: 170 sq.m. STATUS: under construction DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou CONSULTANTS: Nikos Kalathas civil eng., Christos Topouzis (eplan) electrical eng., Prokopis Polydorou (polypro) mechanical eng. The idea of the secret garden as part of the domestic space can be found in traditional architecture in Cyprus, and especially in Nicosia, where the commissioned private house is located. Design is based on the idea of the secret garden(s) as part of the domestic life, and in close relevance to the daily domestic routine. Within a 16 by 16 metres box, the house includes the necessary living spaces for a small family: a living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and a small play space. The interior area, which is 150 square metres, can be extended to the exterior gardens bounded by the peripheral wall. Materials used are fair-faced concrete, fair-faced concrete blocks, terrazzo and marble floors and wood.

G House PLACE/TIME: Nicosia, CY, 2019 STATUS: Pending Building Permission DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou 'July, 18.00 and as the sun starts to set after a hot summer day, the enclosed garden shadowed by the date-trees, becomes a refuge chilled, for the hours to come, by the pleasant Nicosian night breeze’ This is a ground level house in a suburb of Nicosia. The place is a former agricultural area once at the periphery of the wider metropolitan Nicosia, which now becomes an epicentre, however still retaining qualities of its old landscape. We placed the house at the south-west corner of a big plot. The house is designed around an outdoor void, a garden that faces south. The garden is linked visually, but also functionally with a northern porch that overlooks the unbuilt part of the plot which is still cultivated as a wheatfield. The living space intermediates in-between the southern enclosed garden and the northern porch and offers transparency and permeability. The house is organised in two levels following the slight sloped landscape of the plot. The bedrooms face east in order to take advantage of the warming effect of the morning sun and to be cool during the afternoon hours. The western part is protected by the sun during the sunset, but a linear window is placed at a sun-protected part of the west façade in order to leave the pleasant summer west-breeze of the area to permeate the house. The house, which is now pending building permission, is equipped with solar panels and passive energy parametres, such as 80mm insulation, low-e glasses and protection of openings by recesses in built mass and horizontal shades.
THE GRID
PROJECT: Housing Block PLACE/TIME: Limassol, Cyprus, 2018 CLIENT: Compass Developers TOTAL BUILT AREA : 700 M2 The structure is based on a 3×3 m grid which offers: a. Structural simplicity b. Flexibility in the arrangement of spaces c. A playful arrangement of rectangles on the facade The Grid becomes the formal identity of the building and renders it recognizable in its urban environment. The playful façade offers a variety of choices in creating various qualities of space: closed spaces, balconies, niches. It allows the use of a variety of materials: ceramic tiles, aluminum lattices and glass panes. The flexibility in materials creates diversity and the possibility to adjust to the products that are offered in the market and agree with the budget. The general placement of the building favours cross ventilation on the west-east axis taking advantage of the W and SW winds that pleasantly blow during the summer months. An atrium along the west-east axis provides a three-storey void for the growing of tall trees. With the use of aluminum lattices, the facade becomes a screen that filters the sun and creates pleasant micro-climate in each apartment. Plants in various sizes colonize parts of the building: voids, niches, screens, creating in this way a natural layer that protects the envelope of the building and enhance the building’s micro-climate, the quality of life and its identity.

House YM CLIENT: A private house for a young couple STATUS: under construction BUDGET : 250,000 E DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou CONSULTANTS: Nikos Kalathas civil eng., Christos Topouzis (eplan) electrical eng., Tryfonas Christoforou mechanical eng. For this private house destined to a young couple we started from a rectangular solid and continued by sculpturing out small volumes. The aim was to create a balanced relationship between the solid and the void. As a result, the outside space becomes as much important as the inside space, establishing oblique viewing relationships between the two. The configuration of the solids that remain favour the best placement on the site, by opening the house towards the south and the small park beside though a courtyard, blocking at the same time the western sun. At the parts of the house that are most exposed to the western and southern sun we use concrete or ceramic claustra that filter the sun, while letting the western breeze run through the house. The filters, at the same time create a pleasurable atmosphere by the diffusion of incoming light. The oblique viewing relationships and the interrelation between the inside and the outside was the outcome of a request by the owners for a space that does not create isolated corners. We strengthened the central common space by creating a two-storey void, which allows the creation of viewing relations between the two levels. At the house there is an extensive use of vegetation, as part of the filter behind the claustra walls, or as part of the various courtyards and voids that the solids create and engulf around the house. The aim is for nature to become a part of the house that defines the living conditions, as much as the built elements do.

Innovative School Centre in South Palermo Polo Scolastico Onnicomprensivo Innovativo Area Sud (Via Galletti) Second Prize at the 2-stage Competition for an Innovative School Centre in South Palermo CLIENT: Municipality of Palermo, IT PLACE/TIME: Sicily, Italy, 2017-2018 BUDGET: 14,500,000 E COLLABORATION: draftworks* architects and Autonome Forme DESIGN TEAM: Mariza Daouti, Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou, Lucia Pierro, Eftychios Savvidis, Fatma Zohra Sakka, Marco Scarpinato. Our project for a new School Centre proposes the creation of a new urban centrality in the wider region of South Palermo. The project creates a new territorial reference by establishing a synergy between the school programme and the formation of a new landscape open to the community. This synergy understands the Innovative School Centre as an opportunity for a sustainable regeneration of the urban environment of the area. The natural environment that is established by the school becomes also the common denominator of the educational programme and the school life in general. The environmental concerns become the innovative aspect of the educational programme. The process of the growing landscape becomes an opportunity for engagement and learning for the school community. The School, its buildings and open spaces aim at an nZEB (nearly Zero Energy Building) standard, and this, more than less energy consumption and thermal comfort, also constitute the main educational directions for the children, their everyday references and develops their responsibility towards the environment. The design element that constitutes the backbone of the Centre is the nature walk that starts from the main street (Via Galletti) and ends up at the existing orchard garden at the back of the site, connecting the secondary school, the primary school and the kindergarten with the sports facilities, the common open-air spaces and the rest of the landscape. The growing and taking care of the plants in the nature walk becomes a responsibility of the school community. The outdoors nature also becomes part of the indoors, as it intrudes into the voids and gaps in the form of planted patios that constitute an important design element of the mass of the buildings.
Competition for an Innovative School Centre in L’Aquilla CLIENT: Municipality of L’Aquilla, IT PLACE/TIME: L’Aquilla, Italy, 2019 BUDGET: 5,000,000 E COLLABORATION: draftworks* architects and Autonome Forme DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou, Lucia Pierro, Fatma Zohra Sakka, Marco Scarpinato.
New Cyprus Museum, Nicosia CLIENT: Ministry of Transport, Communications and Work PLACE/TIME: Nicosia, Cyprus, 2017 BUDGET : 75,000,000 E TOTAL BUILT AREA : 20,000 M2 DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou, Adamos Adamou MUSEOLOGICAL DESIGN: Spyros Nasainas, architect, museologist LANDSCAPE STUDY: Dafne Kokkini, architect, landscape architect
Museum as an Enclosed Garden We propose a Museum that takes the form of an Enclosed Garden: A garden that is surrounded and defined by a boundary and is allegorically used to describe a serene and idealised natural environment, a primordial forest or an exotic nature that survives in the centuries. The Museum Garden consists of various kinds of trees that are part of the free or domestic nature of Cyprus from the pre-historic era until today and constitute a flora and fauna archaeology in situ: Ancient conifers that were traditionally used for boat-making, energy production and copper treatment since pre-history, to domestic species such as citrus trees, apricot trees, pear trees, apple trees, St. John’s bread, pomegranates, fig trees and dates, vines and mulberries, as well as fragrant herbs, like rosemary. The Garden also contains objects that were traditionally parts of gardens, such as cisterns and aqueducts, as well as structures and objects that form an open-air exhibition based on thematic subjects: the sanctuary of Venus, a house from a pre-historic settlement, an Hellenistic open-air theatre. The boundaries of the garden respond to the three different sides of the city, constituting three different reflections of the urban context. The building mass of the Museum forms the boundaries that define the enclosed space from its three sides in the form of a Triangle of buildings. The building mass itself acts as a Garden Wall, which is clearly defined at its outside and more soft and welcoming at its inside.
College of Art, Lemba CLIENT: Ministry of Culture and Education, Community of Lemba PLACE/TIME: Lemba, Cyprus, 2016 BUDGET : 1,800,000 E DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou TEAM ASSOCIATES: Andrea Kleanthous, Stephania Georgiou, Agelina Voulgari, Kyriakos Myltiadou The Cyprus College of Art is an art institution offering residencies to artists and art students. It is based in Lemba, a community in Pafos, Cyprus. Its founder was the Cypriot artist Stas Paraschos, who, after establishing his studio at Lemba in 1979, invested a lot of his time and effort in attracting artists from UK and other places all over the world to come, stay and work at Lemba. The most famous landmark of the College is the ‘wall of art’ a wall created by the gradual additions of site-specific sculptures made by visiting artists over the course of the last 35 years. The College consists of guest rooms and workshops for the visiting artists and with this competition the Ministry of Culture and Education along with the Community of Lemba and the Head of College intend to renovate the artists’ studios and add two big workshops for art education, as well as more rooms for accommodating more artists and art students. Due to the fact that Stas created the College infrastructure mainly himself with the help of the visiting artists, the place has developed over the years a very distinctive informal character consisting mainly by the self-made structures, many leftover spaces used from the community of the school and the extensive intrusion of wild nature within the premises of the school.

Old Strovolos Revival Plan, Nicosia 3d prize at the competition CLIENT: Municipality of Strovolos BUDGET: 3,000,000 E DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou, Nikolas Kourtis CONSULTANTS: Dafne Kokkini, landscape architect Old Strovolos is the traditional core of Strovolos, the biggest municipality in the wider metropolitan area of Nicosia. The diversity and richness of the area are known although now hidden and undervalued. With our proposal we wanted firstly to put forward the public space agenda by upgrading the qualities of the public space and secondly to upgrade the experience of the area and enhance the use of senses, by bringing in various forms of nature even in wild forms, user friendly materials, water and soil.
Fishing Harbour, Liopetri 3d prize at a two-stage competition. In collaboration with AA+U, Dr. Sokratis Stratis CLIENT: Municipality of Lioptri and Department of Planning PLACE/TIME: Cyprus, 20011-12 BUDGET: 11.000.000 E
An ‘archipelago’ of eco-islands The brief of the first stage of the competition asked for ideas in regard to the fishing harbour. At present the harbour consists of self-made fishing piers that informally occupy the riverbank, which however produce a unique result that many visitors describe as ‘picturesque’ while we would rather describe as original pieces of self-made and self-managed vernacular architecture. A big part of our proposal is based on a preliminary work were we catalogued in detail all the existing jetties and attempted a typological comparison. At a second stage we realized that the existing jetties are only a part of a site that actually contains all sort of fragments, like pieces of state-owned land, parts of forest, private-owned plots, small cultivated fields. For our design proposal we worked with this idea of fragmentation, not necessarily as a negative feature, but as an ‘as-found’ condition, which could offer us a design strategy. For that reason we imagined this fragmented site as being converted into an archipelago of micro-environments that could even extend beyond the limits of the river, to the wider area and become a network of reference for all sorts of users. Our proposal was evolved around the design as a conversion of fragments into self-sustained, self-managed and self-constructed complex of ‘islands’. According to our proposal, in such archipelago of small naturally, socially and economically sustainable eco-systems, experiencing nature would not mean just visiting it, but dedicating time and effort in cultivating, preserving and sailing it
Eleftherias Square, Thessaloniki Competition for the design of Eleftherias square, Thessaloniki, GR CLIENT: Municipality of Thessaloniki PLACE/TIME: Thessaloniki, GR, 2013 BUDGET: 1.865.000 E DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Dafne Kokkini, Christos Papastergiou, Harry Varnavas CONSULTANTS: Manos Tsolakis (Landscape Architect), Yannakis Mitisides (Mechanical Eng.), Michalis Nikolaides (Electrical Eng.), Christos Baltas (Structural Eng.) The most important feature that we acknowledge at the site of Eleftherias Square, and what renders it different than other parts of the city, is its in-between’ character. Standing between areas of the city that are quite distinct to each other the square can potentially attract different categories of users and uses: The dodgy ‘Ladadika’, the fancy commercial centre, the shops, the nostalgic sea and the lively port. With our proposal we want to enhance this ‘in-between’ identity of the space and use it as an occasion to incorporate many different ‘frames of reference’ into the single area of the square. These frames of reference are materialised by the use of what we call ‘micro-realms’ or ‘islands’.
Salt Lake City PROJECT: Salt Lake City, Shortlisted in invited competition CLIENT: QN DEVELOPING Company PLACE/TIME: Larnace, Cyprus, 2017 BUDGET : 40,000,000 E DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou The client asked for a proposal for a mixed development including housing, offices, retail and public uses in a site between the bay of Larnaca and the salt lake of the city. The main intention of our proposal was the creation of a small city of neighbourhoods structured around gardens in big or medium scale and incorporating small gardens in housing units. For that we gave emphasis to the empty space. We considered voids between buildings in various sizes as opportunities for nature to take over and colonise them. In our project we highlighted the importance of open-air and semi open-air common, shared and privates spaces for the residents and users and we stress their important role in defining the quality of living space.
Visitors Centre, Alikes 1st prize in open architectural competition and commission CLIENT: Environment Service, Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment PLACE/TIME: Alikes salt lake, Larnaca, Cyprus, 2009 DESIGN TEAM: Christiana Ioannou, Christos Papastergiou CONSULTANTS: Eraclis Papachristou, architect, ‘D&K Earthquake Protected Structures’, Nicos Kalathas, civil engineer, ‘Mitsides, Samouil and associates’ electrical and mechanical engineers, ‘Demosthenous & Adamides’, quantity surveyors COLLABORATORS: Christiana Karagiorgi, architect The project is located at the salt lake of Alikes, a protected area (RAMSA land NATURA 2000 listed) of unique beauty near the city of Larnaca, Cyprus. The primal purpose of the building is to offer the visitor the experience of walking in the landscape and viewing the surrounding beauty from various viewpoints. The steel structure of the building as well as its small distance from the ground ensures the reversibility of the intervention and the recyclability of most of its materials, while it is designed to leave the least possible marks on the landscape. A surface consisting of steel grating that wraps around the building creates a second skin that controls the intake of air and light in the building. The building adopts sources of renewable energy; a system for biological treatment of waste, while the grey water and rainwater is collected and reused.
Schulhaus Allmend, Zurich PROJECT: Primary School CLIENT: Municipality of Zurich PLACE/TIME: Zurich, Switzerland, 2016 DESIGN TEAM: Daphne Kokkini (dk), Christiana Ioannou (dw), Christos Papastergiou (dw) TEAM ASSOCIATES: Christina Panayi architect, Rafaella Christodoulou architect, Andrea Kleanthous architect, Kyriakos Miltiadous architect, Panayiotis Rotsides architect, Andreas Biros student of architecture CONSULTANTS: Mattias Koehler architect, Adonis Kleanthous architect, Cadrage Landschaftsarchitekten GmbH, Naef Enegietechnik
The primary school is located in Allmend district in a new area that is being currently developed with offices, residences and retail. With our proposal we wanted to increase the presence of nature in the area by using the building itself as an ‘ark’ of nature. According to the ‘Green Ark’ idea the programme of the school is divided in three groups with voids created in between the volumes of each group. Nature takes over in these voids, with trees and bushes of various heights according to the size of the void. A box-like latticed envelope wraps around the volumes constituting unity. The envelope serves as a structure for climbing plants and thus serves as a filter for protecting the school space from summer sun and winter wind while it makes it possible for the building to ‘breathe’. The classroom groups are arranged in a cross-like configuration so as to create various grades of common space for hosting various activities. The pedestrian bridge that connects the city with the district of the school follows the latticed form of the envelop offering multiple views in the area. 3

Das Museum des 20. Jahrhunderts, Berlin PROJECT: ‘Das Museum des 20. Jahrhunderts und seine städtebauliche Einbindung’ ‘The museum of the 20th century and its urban integration’ CLIENT: Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation PLACE/TIME: Berlin, Germany, 2015 DESIGN TEAM: Dafne Kokkini (dk werkraum), Christiana Ioannou (draftworks*), Christos Papastergiou (draftworks*) CONSULTANT: Mattias Koehler COINCIDENTIA OPPOSITORUM’ Among the most important innovations of the 20th century is the turn of art towards the space of the city. With that turn the artistic narrative became inseparable from the ‘Public Space of Appearances’, as Hannah Arendt has called the space where the social transformations take place. Artistic production turned its interest to the streets of the city, the public activity and the urban phantasmagoria, as a resource for inspiration and as a main purpose of creativity. Our proposal is structured around that idea of the public space as the core of the artistic narrative and we propose a Museum that is built around a void, a public space, with the programme of the museum, its galleries, surrounding and sheltering this space of public activity.
