Architecture at the intersection of innovation, craft, and computation
VAstudio is a design-led architecture practice exploring the convergence of contemporary art, spatial design, and advanced technology.
Co-founded by Alexander and Pavlos Varvantakis, VAstudio operates at the forefront of architectural experimentation and technological advancement. With a practice rooted in Greece and Cyprus, the studio synthesizes computational design, robotic fabrication, and traditional construction knowledge to deliver spatial solutions that are bold, performative, and materially expressive.
From large-scale cultural proposals to finely-tuned private commissions, our work blurs the line between digital and physical, theory and execution.
‘‘ Shaping space through code, craft, and collaboration ’’
Founders
Pavlos Varvantakis
Founder / Director
With over 40 years of experience in architecture and construction, Pavlos brings a deep and practiced understanding of the built environment to VAstudio. He holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Architecture from Palermo University.
Over the course of his career, he has led projects of varying scales, overseeing all stages — from initial planning and design to on-site execution and final delivery. His meticulous approach to construction detailing ensures that every project is realized with precision, integrity, and a faithful translation of the original design vision.
Alexander Varvantakis
Co-Founder / Lead Designer
Alexander holds both Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University of Greenwich, as well as a Master’s degree from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), where he specialized in Computational Design, Robotic Fabrication, and Large-scale Additive Manufacturing.
His professional journey includes positions at world-renowned firms such as Zaha Hadid Architects, Foster + Partners, and HKS, where he worked as a Computational Designer and Architect on international projects from concept to delivery.
With a deep focus on the intersection of architecture and emerging technologies, Alexander has explored parametric design, digital fabrication, and robotic construction in both professional practice and academic research. As a freelancer, he continues to push the boundaries of computational methods, translating theoretical innovation into built form.
“ Design, code, fabricate. Repeat “
At VAstudio, we believe that architecture is a dynamic system — one that responds to data, context, and material. Our practice integrates algorithmic design, custom tool-making, and robotic programming to shape non-linear geometries and novel construction methods.
We work across scales and disciplines, committed to designing spaces that feel inevitable yet entirely new.
Since 2019, VAstudio has led diverse projects across Greece and Cyprus — spanning residential, cultural, and experimental domains.
As a collaborative practice, we welcome partnerships with artists, engineers, fabricators, and institutions that share our curiosity and ambition.
