About Us
Square42 Architects, founded in 2020 in Heraklion by Michael Kapsetakis and Elena Kosmaoglou, is an architectural practice that focuses on creating thoughtful and innovative designs. With a strong foundation in contemporary architectural principles, the firm aims to deliver spaces that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and well integrated into their surroundings. Their work emphasizes attention to detail, sustainable practices, and a deep understanding of the cultural and environmental context of each project.
Our Philosophy
We focus on architecture that integrates seamlessly with its surroundings, reflects the identity of place and aligns to the client needs and values. We believe the transition between the natural world and interior space is not just a physical boundary, but an exploration of balance between man and built form. We approach this transition as an interplay of nature, textures, color, and light, where every design element—whether a leaf, a shadow, a carefully crafted detail, or an industrially produced object seamlessly weave the exterior and interior to a living habitat.
