What Elastic Architects does

Elastic Architects is a global hospitality architecture and interior design firm founded in 2005 in Athens, Greece, by Ria Vogiatzi and Alexandros Xenos. The firm operates with 100+ architects and designers across offices in Athens (headquarters), Toronto, Dubai, London, and Nicosia, delivering architectural, interior, and hardscape design services for luxury hotels, resorts, restaurants, and beach clubs. Its work is defined by a sculptural design methodology intended to create immersive guest experiences, and it serves a roster of international luxury hospitality operators including Aman Resorts, One&Only, Banyan Tree, Rosewood, Four Seasons, Ennismore (Delano), Marriott, Hyatt, Accor, Nobu Hotels, Mandarin Oriental, Mitsis Group, and Coco-Mat, among others.

The firm monetizes primarily through professional services fees charged to enterprise hospitality clients on a project basis (pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed), with go-to-market executed via high-touch, relationship-driven enterprise field sales supplemented by event-driven positioning through international design award competitions (AHEAD, German Design Awards, Prix Versailles at UNESCO, IDA, Tourism Awards). It complements services revenue with a productized Objects furniture and lighting line — including upholstered sofas, dining tables, lounge chairs, daybeds, sunbeds, and the Pebble pendant light — designed in-house and specified across hospitality projects. Strategic collaborations, such as the partnership with Goco Hospitality on spa design at Daios Cove in Crete, signal gradual capability extension into adjacent wellness design.

The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, parent entity, or ownership transactions. It is led by co-founders Ria Vogiatzi (Founder, recognized by Fortune as a Trailblazer and by the AHEAD awards as the first Greek judge for Europe) and Alexandros Xenos (Principal, 25+ years of development and construction experience), with Enrique Mangalindan as Partner and Creative Director of the Toronto branch launched in 2018. The firm's client list and award cadence from 2016 through 2025 indicate sustained demand for its specialty within the luxury hospitality design market.
