Villa in Karditsa, Greece
The modern villa is located on the outskirts of the city of Karditsa, in Thessaly. The characteristics of the place were a great inspiration. In general, the design of the building refers to two axes. The semi-urban environment of the city and the natural landscape with the rich mountainous terrain. The prismatic design of the volumes, are a strong architectural reference to the mountainous landscape of the region. An attempt to integrate an urban villa to its natural surroundings.

A civilization that left an indelible mark on the world, Greek Architecture marries art, science and nature, shaping iconic styles that have been replicated across the ages. The roots of Greek architecture dig deep into the ancient soil of this Mediterranean land, where myth, culture, and philosophy intertwine with the built environment. From the classical orders of Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, to the principles of spatial scale, balance, line and light, to city-planning origins reflected through the agora, acropolis and so on, the nation has given life to architecture that was, and still is, celebrated as a paragon of beauty and function.
Defined by harmony, proportion and a reverence for nature, the country’s architectural landsca... More

Amphora Villa Santorini
Amphora villa is a typical cave house in the heart of the traditional village of Finikia, in Oia, Santorini. The settlement of Finikia stands out for the unpretentious beauty of its alleys and the unique architecture of the houses.
The original use of the house was as a «canava» which is a wine cellar. The wine cellars are storage areas where the vine growers and the old winemakers stored the grapes after the harvest. This particular wine cellar is dome-shaped and is made of a volcanic ash named «aspa».

Minu
Minu Athens is located inside an old neoclassical building in the center of Monastiraki. Its design synthesis is a blend of volumes with sharp materialities, dynamically introduced to a rough cell. Plants, furnishing and architecture interact in the entirety of the place, offering distinct qualities in each corner. The refined curating of design elements and art pieces define this hybrid space of retail and dining where plants remain the protagonists.

Cave House
The project concerns the creation of a new residence on an existing plot in a small settlement, just outside the city of Heraklion. The needs and experiences of the two owners, as well as the morphology and orientation of the study area, led us to the design of a stone-built undercut residence with a swimming pool and underground spaces.

Approaching from the road, one can see an olive grove with a slight slope, an artificial lake ending on a cliff. The building was placed hidden in the relief of the ground and on the edge of the cliff. It consists of three wings of different orientation and different views. In the middle wing where the main entrance is located, it houses the day areas, kitchen, living room, dining... More

Villa on the Rocks
In the Apokoronas Region, on a hilltop with a panoramic view of Souda Bay and the Cretan Sea to the north, and the white mountains to the south, we were asked to design a holiday home that also serves as a short-term rental accommodation. The goal was with a simple design, to offer quality and comfortable spaces, privacy between users and the feeling of luxury (since it is intended as an investment property).

ALYKO BOUTIQUE HOTEL
On a beachfront location, the hotel offers full views of the pristine beach of Alyko on the island of Naxos. The main building borrows its form from the local heritage building "pyrgos" meaning "tower".
MASTROMINAS Architecture
Built from the 13th to 19th century, the austere constructions with small openings were protecting the landlords from pirate invasions. The rooms are developed in cubic forms which are randomly arranged as a village. The lower part of the complex has a continuous front of suites that embraces the composition following the uneven lines of the plot's border, like the Naxos city castle. The private pools of the suites smoothly dissolve into the natural landscape of the sand dunes, whereas their r... More
