Ergin Birinci
LEAD ARCHITECT

I decided to become an architect after being inspired by the conservation and regeneration projects I witnessed in Cyprus. These projects showcased the power of architecture in preserving culture, improving lifestyle, and benefiting the economy.

My education at the University of Greenwich and the University of Westminster equipped me with critical thinking skills, artistic abilities, and a comprehensive understanding of three-dimensional architectural design.
hroughout my career, I gained valuable experience at renowned firms such as AEDAS RHWL Architects, Zaha Hadid Architects, Foster and Partners, and UNStudio. I developed expertise in innovative design, sustainable and data-driven architecture as well as project management. I actively participated in competitions, worked on projects at various stages, and contributed to research groups focused on sustainability and innovation.
Overall, my architectural journey reflects a passion for meaningful design and a commitment to practical expertise.

I am well equipped in my ability to create innovative designs that blend aesthetics with functionality. I continue to be driven by the transformative potential of architecture and look forward to making a lasting impact in the field with my own studio.

The Kaia project has been an exhilarating experience for me, offering an opportunity to create a new vision and introduce a fresh standard of living to the island. Our team has strived to make Kaia a place for everyone, a space that reflects our inclusive design philosophy and vision. This project exemplifies our dedication to reimagining the built environment, blending aesthetics, functionality, and the unique character of the location. Kaia has served as a catalyst for innovation, inspiring me to create designs that push boundaries and elevate experiences.
