Sustainability Advisory
Off-Grid Properties
At ARENCOS, we believe that modern architecture is living in comfort without compromising the natural environment or depleting the natural resources available.
Our sustainably designed and energy-efficient focused homes minimise negative environmental impacts whilst ensuring and maximising comfort and wellbeing.
Constructed with precision and by integrating the latest technology with locally sourced and time-tested natural materials, our eco-friendly properties draw inspiration from the Cretan nature with a delicate yet modern aesthetic, elegance and practicality.
Sustainability Advisory
Sustainable Constructions
The variety of architectural and engineering design solutions and their compliance with the Greek Building Codes and Global Engineering Standards incited a lot of challenges. Often, engineers and architects strive to preserve the aesthetics of housing appearances and fail to fulfil a client’s need.
Compared to commercial buildings, the residential design must allow for full integration at all levels of inhabitants’ lives.
Moreover, due to excessive energy consumption during the construction and maintenance of a residential project, project design and management must be sustained. For instance, demand for water is outstripping supply in Crete and climate change is making it worse.

From Urgency to Action
ARENCOS has a dedicated team engineer, of management consultants, architects, surveyors, and computer scientists, all working throughout the lifecycle of a project, from due diligence to delivery and commissioning to operations.
In our planning, designing and development work, we advocate biophilic and sustainable strategies to help clients attain legislative compliance or planning permissions by addressing sustainability and resilience.
