About us
Simple and unassuming.
Crete lives in its mountains, an enduring symbol of strength and stability.
We are humbled by nature’s beauty, and ground our design in timeless principles that withstand the test of time.
At SUTO Architects, our commitment is to sculpt timeless designs uniquely tailored to the inhabitants, where the synergy between architecture and their aspirations creates a living, breathing environment—a place you can take pride in.
We come from two completely different parts of the world. Our professional experiences in the United States have granted us the ability to tackle complex architectural challenges. Our design philosophy is guided by our Chinese and Greek heritage, with our design sensibility deeply rooted in our cultural backgrounds. This places us in a unique position to anticipate and emphasize the needs of our inhabitants. We are good observers and listeners, attuned to the small nuances that define humanity and the stories that shape our cultures. We examine and analyze, focusing not only on the buildings or products we design, nor the cities we inhabit, but primarily on the people we design for, in order to create a sense of place and belonging. “Intimate architecture” transcends locality; it is the embodiment of one’s identity and experience.
Our design approach is intimate because we walk in your shoes. Our training has prepared us to immerse ourselves in a state without boundaries or definitions, allowing us to be unbound by common approaches. We believe that thoughtful craftsmanship can be applied to any scale. Embracing the dynamic nature of architecture, we recognize that each project is an individual expression shaped by its unique context. As we engage with our clients, a distinctive character emerges. Imagine a dynamic matrix where the inhabitants’ input shapes the design at every step, resulting in a space that truly reflects the needs of the users. Our commitment remains—to sculpt timeless designs uniquely tailored to the inhabitants, where the synergy between architecture and their aspirations creates a living, breathing environment.
