K&K Architects was established in 2000 by Katerina Kotzia and Korina Filoxenidou. The studio deals with a variety of projects that range from exhibition design and commercial spaces to private residential projects. Projects also include participations in competitions and research programmes on urban strategies and the integration of architecture and landscape.
The studio focuses on the creation of spaces that combine a strong and clear identity with an experiential nature that encourages interaction and involvement.
In 2006 k&k architects designed and co-curated (with E. Constantopoulos and L. Papadopoulos) the Greek Participation in the 10th Biennale of Architecture in Venice entitled The Dispersed Urbanity of the Aegean Archipelago. In 2006 they curated and designed the first Architecture Biennale of Thessaloniki, entitled: Architecture and the City In Southeast Europe. Projects have been published in architectural magazines and catalogues. Their work in exhibition design and architectural competitions has received numerous distinctions.

Στόχος του γραφείου είναι η δημιουργία χώρων με δυνατή και καθαρή ταυτότητα, με μια πειραματική διάθεση που ενθαρρύνει τη διάδραση και τη συμμετοχή των χρηστών.
