Selcuk Avci and Sanja Jurca Avci established Avci Architects in London in 1989. In its first year, the practice won the top prize in the European Union biannual Energy Efficient Buildings Competition, a culmination of years of experience in sustainability, which set the tone for the direction of the practice. Although the practice specializes in many sectors in terms of programme, sustainability has become an underlying driving ethos, from the scale of regional masterplanning down to the design of a single product.
Avci Architects has designed projects in the UK as well as in Italy, Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Serbia, Czech Republic, Slovenia and more recently in Turkey. Currently active projects include commercial and institutional offices, retail centres, private residential developments, and educational and cultural buildings including exhibitions and museums.

Services
At AVCIARCHITECTS, we have always considered ourselves as being located in the world as opposed to a single country.
Our studios take on this multicultural aspect in the composition of their staff and also in their design approach.
Our design philosophy is based on an inclusive thought process and our relationships with the world's best doers and thinkers are reflected in our projects whenever the opportunity allows us.
Beyond our own staff we are experienced in productively and creatively bringing together international expertise from various disciplines to form the best teams possible for our projects.

AVCI+ is a division of AVCIARCHITECTS devoted to projects where the narrative takes the lead: museum exhibitions and theatre productions.
With clients ranging from National Museums to a small local factory, from Royal Shakespeare Company to jazz concerts, AVCI+, led by Sanja Jurca Avci, takes pleasure in discovering the best spatial solution for every content.
At AVCI+ we strongly believe that only an exhibition with a clear message is a successful exhibition.
This is why, before beginning the design process, we engage with curators in an intense "content interpretation" process, through which the exhibition storyline emerges and a clear message is established.

AVCIARCHITECTS began its life with the 1st Prize-winning 'Working in the City' competition in 1989.
It was the first competition that the practice entered and clearly winning first prize made us think we were doing something right.
Since then the practice has made an effort to enter competitions, and has been awarded a number of prizes.
The most recent competition was the 1st Prize in a limited competition to design the headquarters of the Turkish Contractors Association.
Selcuk Avci and Sanja Jurca Avci have been awarded for their works individually through out their careers, and these are also listed here.
