A vibrant new destination has emerged in the heart of Antiparos, where retail and hospitality converge in a single, immersive space, set within the historic former folklore museum of Antiparos. A space of objects, scent, nourishment, and gathering, this innovative project - a shop, cafe and bar - was brought to life through a unique collaboration between Studio Andrew Trotter and its long term client and friend Eva Papadaki, blending refined design with relaxed island living.
The founder of 1OAM apotheke, Eva Papadaki, brings her creative vision to this project in collaboration with entrepreneur Anastasia Tsourekas of Louisa stores and Thanasis Panourias, owner of Bardot. Together, they present a scaled-up interpretation of the 1OAM apotheke concept store, enriched with a food and beverage experience deeply inspired by the brand’s core philosophy - a celebration of mindful living, seasonality, and elevated simplicity.
Located just steps from the Aegean Sea, the space captures the spirit of Antiparos: understated luxury, natural textures, and effortless charm. Designed to evolve from sun-drenched mornings into lively evenings, the venue fluidly combines a concept store offering the 1OAM apotheke brand and curated objects, with a bar serving refined drinks and local flavours.
“Our goal was to create a seamless experience where people can explore, unwind, and connect,” said Andrew, Creative Director of Studio Andrew Trotter. “The interior draws on the tactile essence of the Cyclades: lime-plastered surfaces, handcrafted ceramics, and warm woods - while remaining contemporary and unexpected.”
The design blurs the lines between indoors and out, using custom-built marble furniture by Theodor Psychoyos, soft lighting, and a neutral palette. Every detail from the handpicked materials to the spatial layout, was conceived to evoke a sense of place while encouraging interaction.
The space invites visitors from morning to midnight into a daily cadence that begins with morning rituals - a soulful, minimal-waste breakfast inspired by the simplicity of village mornings. Everything is homemade, fresh, and seasonal: herbs picked from the back garden, coffee by Red Jane, tea by 1OAM apotheke (malotira, dittany & sage), and freshly squeezed juices served under the trees.
In the evening, the space transforms into a Botanical Bar, offering carefully curated drinks made with wild and native ingredients, paired with a rotating, seasonal menu - all within a setting that blurs the lines between home, store, and studio.
This collaborative project sets a new benchmark for multifunctional spaces in the islands, celebrating craftsmanship, community, and creativity under one roof.
