AMC Hospital
Masterplan for the American Medical Center campus in Limassol — patient-centred wards, daylit circulation, Mediterranean stone.
A syzygy is the rare alignment of three celestial bodies — hence our name. A building finds its form the same way: when design, engineering and craft move as one, it gains clarity, precision, and a quiet sense of inevitability.
We make buildings that care for the people within and belong to the land around them. Our deepest work is given to places of healing and wellbeing, where proportioned, light-filled volumes, long views and honest material quietly restore. The same devotion shapes a private house: new villas, and the patient restoration of old fincas across Ibiza, each rooted in its terrain, its light, its trees. From the family home to the place of healing, we hold to one belief — that architecture should care for the body, calm the mind and lift the spirit.
Houses and villas, the careful restoration of Ibiza’s old fincas, and the larger buildings where people heal, gather and restore.

Twin houses in Santa Eulàlia — new-build in cross-laminated timber and lime-washed render.
New-build family house — courtyard typology, deep loggias, local limestone.
A temporary canopy on the American Medical Center campus in Nicosia — slender steel columns carry a shimmering woven-metal roof that filters the sun into dappled shade over a reflecting pool.
An ingenious industrial typology in Ibiza — offices and light industry, or a wellness centre. A polycarbonate façade with precise self-shading draws abundant daylight, while careful insulation holds off the summer heat.
A conceptual rammed-earth sculpture for the Ibiza coast — geometry as passive cooling: finite mass, porous skin, turned to the sun. Read the essay →
SYZYGY is a new studio, founded in 2024. The projects, awards and recognition below were earned by the partners during their work at the established international practices noted — the experience they now bring to this venture.
