We are working at the crossroads of several disciplines: architecture, interior architecture, furniture and product design, and things in between which have no title. These three words describe the operational basis in which our creative process comes together as a way of thinking. No one part is more important than the other, nor do they follow in sequence. They appear all at once, affecting each other as living participants in the realisation process. Architectonics is the common logic between the things we create for the environment and which belong to architectural interiority as well as exteriority, furniture as well as objects. It is the logic which unites the part with the whole in every environmental construct, object or entity. Substance is the part we can see and touch and agree is "real". It is the materiality of the work. It is the craft of architectonic communication, and contains the realisation strategy. Illusion is the resultant impact on human beings; affecting thoughts, state of mind, and emotions. It is not visible, therefore appears not to exist. That is the illusion; it is something invisible which exists as vivid experience within the mind and body. It is the hidden agenda of our work, and the secret message you get only by being there. Pictures and any other virtual replication never communicate the content of experience. Despite the constant erosion of real experience, there is nothing like the real thing. Y.L. Yorgo Lykouria, born 1967 in Canada, began on a quest to become an auto designer and changed direction towards architecture, completing a Masters degree in Architecture in Canada in 1991. His years of training spanned from West Berlin in 1988, to Barcelona in 1990, to Chicago in 1992, where he landed a position in Helmut Jahn’s architectural office. This was the beginning of realising his multi-faceted approach to architecture; working on architectural projects, interior architecture and product design. He gained a position of Vice President, before establishing the Jahn Lykouria Design in London, in partnership with Helmut Jahn. The practice evolved, and since 2005 is simply known as, LYKOURIA Ltd. Realized projects (selection): several Corporate Headquarters Interiors projects, including the acclaimed Sony Centre in Berlin and the Bayer Headquarters in Leverkusen, interiors for the Cologne/Bonn Airport, terminal 2. Awards (selection): AIT awards for innovation for Alape’s flat washbasin products (2003), All-in-one wall system (2005) and for Siteco’s ground-breaking luminaire: Flash 2 (2005).
