Furthermore, our experts know how important it is to leverage this opportunity to bring consistency across physical branded assets such as architectural signage, imagery but also in the creation of custom-made furniture and how spaces are designed. We take inspiration of the brand identity and guidelines to design spaces that reflect these principles. When done correctly brand implementation has the potential to deliver significant rewards: strong market presence, increased brand value and a vehicle to drive emotional connections and engagement across the workforce.

Thanks to years of experience and out extensive network of partners we are able to offer the very best building solutions whether we develop or renovate spaces. We coordinate works with our expert partners to deliver the best quality within the agreed timelines. Any technical challenges arising during construction are properly managed on the spot from our construction engineers who supervise the projects. At the end of each project, all technical specs of materials and machinery are properly documented. A hand over file which includes the as build drawings is delivered to the customer so that they have full visibility and access to all required information for future use.
Our team of Professionals and Engineers provides detailed studies, inspection and management services related to the architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and security elements of buildings. We are focused not only on what is good for business but also what is good for safe and sustainable places for people to work and thrive. Our studies and recommendations take into consideration all necessary public health and safety aspects, waste management requirements and new technologies to assure that energy saving and eco-friendly systems are used. That means KN Group clients can make responsible decisions for their business and their people. Furthermore, the continuous co-operation between Engineers and the Design Team ensure decisions are co-ordinated taking into account aesthetics, the brand and functionality needs of the customer in the implementation study. As a result KN Group’s multi-disciplinary teams work closely together to create a unified and holistic solution avoiding issues that can occur from poorly communicated information, inconsistencies in documentation and hand-overs and poor resource allocation.
From reception areas, staff desks and seating to meeting rooms, informal collaboration zones, office canteens and external areas we recognise that “objects” are an essential part of the spaces we create.
Building on the heritage of KN Group’s early days, we have our own in-house carpentry department that designs and creates custom-made solutions however small or big they may be. Over the years, with our long presence and track record in the Greek market, we have augmented our own expertise with a comprehensive and carefully selected network of partners including high end designers, manufacturers, and craftsmen.
Our inhouse-team alongside our partner network share the same passion for designing functional spaces and objects that express a unique character in line with the operational but also brand related requirements of our clients. Each and every time we carefully select and source materials that fit-for purpose, minimize environmental impact and drive resource efficiency without sacrificing quality. Our project managers and in-house experts guide the work of our partners every step on the way ensuring our clients needs are well served.
