Demetra Katsota together with Stephan Buerger established buerger katsota architects in 2005 with offices in Athens and Vienna. The practice has been successfully engaged with a variety of architectural and urban design projects as well as academic and editorial research on architecture. buerger katsota architects’ work is informed by the physical context of each project, the understanding and sensitivity to the culture and climate of a place, the experiential potential of materials and light, detailing and construction alongside a primary concern for the environmental, social and econo-mic aspects of sustainability.
