Why Northbytra?
Experience, transparency and warranty in one place
We are a team of architects, interior designers and engineers working from a light-filled studio. For almost two decades we have designed private homes, offices, housing, hotels and cultural buildings, and restored listed structures with the same care. About Us →
Design led by partners
A founding partner is personally involved in every project, from first sketch to handover.
Permit know-how
We know local zoning rules and approval procedures, which saves months of revisions.
Coordinated BIM model
Architecture, structure and MEP in one model means fewer clashes and fewer surprises on site.
Cost awareness from day one
Every design stage comes with a cost estimate, so the budget is never an afterthought.
Climate-responsive buildings
Orientation, shading, insulation and natural ventilation are designed in, not added on.
One responsible contact
You have a single project architect who answers your questions and keeps the team on schedule.

Customer reviews
What do our clients say?
“They listened more than they talked in the first meetings, and it shows: the house fits the way we live and every olive tree on the plot is still standing.”
Sample client
Villa project · sample review
“The BIM coordination paid off on site: almost no clashes, clear monthly cost reports and a handover on the date we agreed two years earlier.”
Sample client
Office building · sample review
“Getting approval for a listed building felt impossible until we met this team. They handled the conservation board with patience and gave the old stone walls a second life.”

Passive design in a Mediterranean climate: cooler homes with less energy
Orientation, overhangs, thermal mass and cross-ventilation can cut cooling demand dramatically — before a single air-conditioner is installed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions
Can't find your answer? Contact us.
How are architectural fees calculated?
Fees depend on the building type, its floor area and the scope of services. They are never below the official minimum fee schedule. After the first meeting you receive a fixed, itemised written offer, usually paid in instalments linked to each project stage.
How long does it take from first meeting to building permit?
For a private house, typically four to six months: about two months for brief and design, six to eight weeks for permit drawings and engineering, plus the municipality’s review time. Larger or listed buildings take longer; we give you a realistic timeline at the start.
What documents do I need to get started?
The title deed or parcel number is enough for the first meeting. For the design we will also need the official zoning status, a topographic survey and, later, a geotechnical report — we can organise these for you.
Do you also coordinate the structural and MEP engineers?
Yes. We work with a trusted network of licensed structural, mechanical and electrical engineers and coordinate all disciplines in one BIM model. You have a single contract and one responsible contact if you wish.
Do you take on projects outside your city or abroad?
Yes. We regularly design projects across the country and abroad. Design meetings can be held online; for permits and site supervision abroad we collaborate with local partner offices that know the regulations.
