ABOUT US
Archtify was founded in 2009 by Eirini Apostolaki in response to the very particular needs of discerning private clients and property investors, who were often frustrated by the sometimes fragmented and culturally distinct approach of the Cretan design, construction and professional services sector.
Eirini set out to create an integrated, design-led, full-service proposition for the most demanding international clients. Today, ten years on, Archtify has flourished and become one of Western Crete’s fastest growing sector firms.
Archtify is now a diverse and dedicated team of multi-disciplinary and multi-lingual professionals with a shared passion to deliver standout performance, quality and service levels.
We never, ever, forget that our clients are entrusting us with the delivery of their dreams. We assume these dreams as they were our own and spare no effort in our attempt to exceed expectations.
The in-house team
Eirini Apostolaki
Founder and director
Born in Crete, Eirini graduated from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) – School of Architecture in 2006 before gaining an MSc in Project and Enterprise Management from University College London, member of the Technical Chamber of West Crete since 2007.
Eirini spent her early professional years gaining extensive experience in conceptual design architecture and construction management across multidisciplinary private house, industrial facility, local government and military projects.
Having observed the cultural gap that often exists between demanding international clients and the Cretan architectural and construction communities, Eirini’s founding of Archtify in 2009 was a natural career evolution that enabled her to better serve this exacting client group.
Not content with leading the Archtify team in to its second decade of growth, Eirini is also an active and passionate member of the professional community, founts in 2009 together with other young architects, the volunteering team p-public that organised actions and lectures aiming to raise awareness on the quality of public space, former advisor of the Mayor of Chania on urban planning (2015-18) and Vice President of Chania’s Architects Association (2011-2014) .
