Speaker

Maria Papafigou is an architect and a founding partner of the Stockholm- and Athens-based office OOAK - One of a Kind Architects. Maria studied architecture in Sweden, Barcelona, and Athens, and did her postgraduate studies at the Royal Academy of Arts in Sweden. In the past, she has held the position of lecturer at the School of Architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (KTH). The office is small in size and works with projects of varying scales in a broad variety of environments around the globe. OOAK architects approaches each project with sensitivity and thought, aiming to create one of a kind projects with distinct identities tailored to their specific conditions and needs. We always bear with us the distinct traditions of our two countries and all our projects are colored by the Nordic respect for nature and the Greek vernacular attitude for tailor-made solutions.
