“Athi is deeply committed to our clients, and takes a personal interest in the relationships that she builds through the practice of architecture.” - Scott Delano, Architect Extraordinaire Athi Toufexis is an architect. She specializes in designing educational environments for learners of all abilities. She supports school districts and communities in transforming their visions into inspiring built realities. Athi strives to create future-ready solutions to better prepare students for the ever-evolving world of tomorrow. Athi is also a joy to speak with. She is clearly passionate about public service, amd creating spaces in which people can find comfort, joy and awe. As Athi mentions, architecture is a facet of life that is constantly impacting our lives, every day, every hour, every minute. We loved speaking with Athi to learn about what an architect does, and how she approaches work for different projects in and for different communities. Kosha also learns what a portico is during our conversation, which was exciting for her. Do you have a favorite building?
