INTRODUCTION

Elias Messinas Architect Is a Yale graduate, and environmental consultant, leading a full service architectural and consulting firm on 'green' building, integrated development, sustainability and ecology in Greece, Israel, Cyprus, and the US.

We seek balance in architectural design, and in our intervention, whether it is a 'green' building, or an integrated development study. Our choices and proposals reflect the specific client, climate and site; we learn from history, and we care for the environment.

We work closely with our clients in a process of cooperation and involvement, in order to best understand their needs and desires and to realize them through our design and/or consulting services. Our work process is interactive and participatory and we invite the client to be involved in all stages, and in all decisions.

We respond to the historic and cultural context and we learn from the genius loci of each place.

We care for the environment and we integrate this care into our practice, both in our designs and in the way we run our firm. We also invest time and energy in our community raising environmental issues, and we help other architects become environmentally conscious in their designs and practice - see www.ecoweek.org

We look forward to hearing from you and to creating together the next successful 'green' project.
