Ourania Tyliou is the leader architect of - Otarch Architecture & Design studio. She is an accomplished architect, engineer and interior designer with substantial experience and an extensive portfolio of creative projects both in Athens and throughout Greece.
For more than 15 years she has worked on small and large-scale projects for private clients, large organizations and competitions that required high compositional abilities, construction knowledge, communication and co-ordination skills of interdisciplinary teams.
During her career, she has collaborated with very important architectural groups such as PLEIAS D.Diamandopoulos & associates EPE, KPPS ARCHITECTS, KIPSELI ARCHITECTS and is one of the main architect-study-partners of the L'Oreal Hellas group.
In the last 8 years she has founded otarch studio based in Athens.
Her goal as an architect is to develop to the maximum the aesthetic quality of the architectural practices delivered by her studio and the authentic identity of the projects she implements.
Her architectural perspective was formed in the context of her PhD on the "Psychology of archetypal shapes and the memory of spaces". The creative inspiration in her works stems from the extensive recognition of the space and its unique characteristics, from which the new architectural composition emerges.
Otarch Architecture & Design studio consists of a team of collaborators-researchers who, under the guidance of Ourania Tyliou, undertake the processing of studies of high aesthetic requirements and construction excellence.
The delivered projects are comprehensive, as they start from the inception and preliminary study of the space, to the implementation and may proceed to the final stage of decoration - selection of lighting and furnishing for the space.
The experience of otarch studio team extends to all areas of architectural practice, from residences, housing complexes, to office and professional areas (sports, catering, commerce).
Finally, there is collaboration with a group of graphic designers, which aims to the delivery of complete corporate identity proposals for professional spaces or hotel areas - Branding. This stage is extremely important for a professional space project in order to form a complete identity and aesthetics at all levels of its operation (logo, site, applications within the space, signs, etc.).
