NEFELI IOANNA KOURINOU
JUNIOR ARCHITECT

She grew up in Crete and graduated from the School of Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), where she gained essential knowledge in design principles and collaboration. She enjoys working with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and stories — a passion reflected in her participation in two Erasmus programs.

During her Erasmus year in Paris, where she completed both academic studies and an internship, she developed a deep appreciation for color, materials, and detail. Her journey continued with an Erasmus placement in Istanbul, driven by her interest in engaging with diverse perspectives and understanding how cultural narratives influence the built environment.

Over the past year, she has been working for Kipseli Architects, a collaboration that emerged naturally from their shared design philosophy, and she has found a place where she can evolve creatively. Their common passion for creating spaces that reflect the client’s personality and integrate harmoniously into their surroundings is their primary goal.
