ANASTASIOS G. Y.
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL
Crafting rare architectural moments through honest materiality, structural audacity, and Cycladic quietude.
An uncompromised pursuit of structural purity.
Anastasios Y. (known in global design circles as 'Agy') is a registered Greek architect who has dedicated his career to the exploration of volume, materiality, and light. Believing that architecture should feel both ancient and futuristic, Agy merges the tactile ruggedness of Mediterranean dry stone with the cold purity of board-formed concrete.
Before establishing his boutique Athens-based studio AgyDesigned in 2019, Anastasios worked at leading high-end practices in Switzerland and New York. His work has been widely featured in international journals, including ArchDaily, Dezeen, and Architectural Digest, praised for its environmental sensitivity and emotional impact.
