Archi-Tekton, Inc. was founded in 1991 in Warren, Ohio to provide professional architectural design services under the sole ownership of Pavlos P. Pavlidis. In 1993 the firm became a professional corporation and relocated to Niles, Ohio.

Archi-Tekton's early focus was the design of high quality custom homes and home additions, usually in a contemporary style. The firm's careful attention to detail and creative use of fine materials led to commissions for interior design, cabinetry, and custom-built furnishings. Gradually building a solid reputation as one of the premier residential design firms in the region, Archi-Tekton expanded into commercial, industrial, and educational building design. The firm does design work throughout the State of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

Archi-Tekton, Inc. has been recognized in a national publication, Audio Video Interiors, January 1996, for the design of The Majestic Resort in Cleveland, Ohio, and in the trade magazine, Sound & Communications, October 1995, for a home theater project located in Cleveland, Ohio. Lately, one of their custom kitchen designs is featured in a nationally distributed manufacturer's brochure by Royal Sheffield cabinetry.

Archi-Tekton's experience with a variety of building types and clients allows it to offer comprehensive architectural services from design through construction field supervision and project closeout, or to custom tailor its scope of services to meet the particular needs of a client. Within the office, Archi-Tekton is committed to the use of "state of the art" computer technology to enable efficient preparation of drawings and specifications and to allow smooth interaction with consultants. The firm is professionally registered in both Ohio and Pennsylvania and is a member of the American Institute of Architects.

The firm's design philosophy can be summarized as follows:

"Every architectural creation of ours does not appeal to the artistic sensibilities of the majority. Through our creations, we give expression to people's unique and bold architectural tastes and desires. We consider it less than a success on our part if the design only expresses a theme that is all too common and lacks in originality."
