Since joining ZHA in 2016, she has contributed to a wide range of projects, from office and residential developments to museum, transportation, mixed-use, masterplan, and refurbishment projects.
Maria has contributed to projects from competition stage to completion, integrating parametric tools to refine design processes. Working with multidisciplinary teams, Maria plays a key role in structuring BIM processes from the outset, facilitating effective coordination between design, consultant, and construction teams.
Before joining ZHA, Maria worked as an architect in Greece, focusing on luxury residential design, urban planning, and the development of innovative housing typologies.

Featured Projects
From a design that echoes its context at the intersection of Tbilisi's urbanism and natural environments to OPPO’s new headquarters in Shenzhen, China, discover highlights of Maria's notable projects at ZHA.
Maria completed her Bachelor of Architecture (Honours), Diploma in Architecture (Honours), and Master of Architecture from the Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. She has lectured at the University of Birmingham in the UK and has represented ZHA at international conferences.
Growing up in Greece, Maria was inspired by its rich history but also recognised a gap in contemporary architectural development, which led her to specialise in technical delivery to extend cultural heritage into the future. Maria is also a dancer and enjoys music performance and interactive arts.
