Sayka Architecture

Sayka’s practice in heritage conservation prioritises the rehabilitation and consolidation of cultural assets by sustaining their authentic features in the conservation projects and implementations regarding monumental buildings, residential buildings, and archaeological sites. The practice works with international heritage consultants especially for the architectural projects of monumental and ancient buildings. The adaptive-reuse projects aim at the sustainable transformation of historic buildings through their integration with contemporary life based on their potential and contribution to the city.

The practice’s design approach in historic urban contexts is based on an understanding of the place and its geographical and cultural needs and adds new values that would accelerate its development. The traditional architectural practice is reinterpreted with the use of local materials (stone, brick, timber) in a contemporary manner without imitations. Sayka has been a member of AEERPA (European Association of Architectural Heritage Restoration Companies) since 2000.
