Margarita Danou Architects Collaborators

In 1991 Margarita Danou founded the office "Margarita Danou Architects Collaborators" in Nicosia with a significant number of published and award-winning projects often focusing on the re-reading of boundaries between private and social-public space, reiterating the interdependent relations of materiality and texture, transparency and permeability, intertwined to form a new landscape of architectural intervention.

The office works have been distinguished in a significant number of Architectural Competitions, in three of which she was awarded first prize. In 1996 she received a distinction in the EUROPAN 3 for the city of CAMPI BIZENCIO in Italy (collaboration with the architects M. Economides and L. Kanagini). The Sports Park at the Old GSO (2011), and the Cyta Footbridge in Limassol (2015), were also nominated for the European Mies Van Der Rohe Award. Her individual works have also been published in “Αρχιτεκτονικά Θέματα”, “Δομες”, “Τευχος” Archello and Venice Architectural Biennale publications of 2006, 2010 and 2018.

The collaboration between Margarita Danou and Sevina Floridou in their award-winning work titled ‘Voroklini Coastal Promenade’ in Larnaca, Cyprus received the State Prize for Architecture in the Remarkable Project category (2004), while the next phase of the project, ‘Reconfiguration of Verki Coastal Walkway and Estuary’, was nominated for the European Mies Van Der Rohe Award (2004, 2013).
