Design & Feasibility Research

Faye Rigkou

What’s your role at Aesthetic Shift, and what do you focus on day-to-day?
My role spans design, feasibility research, and the preparation of planning and building regulations packages. I’m also involved in shaping creative strategies that help drive the business forward.

How did you get into architecture/design/planning?
From a young age, I was captivated by the world of art and design. My first creative outlet was drawing and painting. That early passion eventually led me to architecture as a way to channel my creativity into something tangible and impactful. I moved from Greece to the UK to study architecture, completing my bachelor’s degree in Leeds. Since then, I’ve worked in the field across Leicester and London, and went on to complete my master’s through an apprenticeship at London South Bank University.

What excites you most about working at Aesthetic Shift?
There isn’t just one thing that excites me about working at Aesthetic Shift. It’s the combination of people, purpose, and vision. The company has a deeply respectful ethos that recognises the importance of individuality and humanity, which creates a truly supportive environment. The directors lead with integrity and ambition, setting values and goals that I’m genuinely inspired to be part of. On top of that, the projects we work on have real impact; we’re helping to shape the future of cities and communities. Being part of those decisions is a privilege, and it motivates me to bring my best every day.

Describe your working style or mindset in three words… Curious, Adaptable and Creative.
I believe there is a constant inner dialogue of possibilities whenever a new piece of information enters through the senses and forms varying connections with others from the subconscious. It’s not limited to design; it’s about reimagining how things can be done, noticing hidden patterns, and letting curiosity shape new possibilities.

We combine exceptional architectural design and planning with meticulous attention to detail.

We thrive on crafting spaces that inspire, delight and enhance the lives of those who inhabit them.

Whether you envision a space for creating cherished memories, a tranquil sanctuary, or anything in between, allow us to collaborate with you to transform your architectural dreams into reality.
