About FUV

FUV was founded in 2005 by architect Theodoros Sotirios Tountas as an architectural firm focused on the design of both private and public projects, of both large and small scale, as well as participation in architectural competitions in Greece and abroad.

Our Logo is Our Mission Statement

The initials “FUV” derive from the Latin words Firmitas, Utilitas, and Venustas (according to Vitruvius), which translate to Stability, Functionality, and Aesthetics. These three core values are essential for well-structured spaces and architecture. When these elements are in balance, the best possible outcomes for both the environment and humanity are achieved. These values reflect our approach and serve as our roadmap for effectively completing every project we undertake. Our goal is to leave behind a better world than the one we found.

 

Our Vision, our Mission

Our commitment to modern construction goes beyond simply offering design, construction, and renovation services, as well as selling building products. We firmly believe that the results of our services and products enhance the quality of life for our fellow citizens in their living and working environments—both functionally and aesthetically—by eliminating the symptoms of “sick” buildings that quietly degrade the quality of everyday life. Our team is passionate and confident that our comprehensive approach responsibly contributes to the social, economic, and aesthetic development of our country.

 

Certifications

Property owners deserve protection and guarantees regarding the quality, performance, and safety of the buildings in which they choose to invest. Statements from both designers and builders are often biased; this is why independent certification bodies were established to confirm that services and materials meet objective requirements and standards. Only quality certifications issued by third-party independent entities ensure that a genuine implementation study sets maximum goals and meets requirements so that the final construction delivers on its promises. Just as globally recognized laboratories like TÜV NORD certify materials and techniques through standardized comparisons and inspections, there are also worldwide organizations dedicated to comprehensive building certification.

All of the organizations mentioned above share a common goal: to create a roadmap for developing a building stock with a reduced energy footprint while prioritizing the optimal comfort of its occupants. At FUV, we are equipped to provide expert guidance to our clients in obtaining one or more of these certifications.
