Irini Sarri, a lawyer who had already been running her own practice for five years, wanted a new office that radiates feminine strength, far from the heavy, traditional law office everyone knows. The experience begins in the building's corridor. A dark, sculpted portal steps out from the wall, outlined by a halo of light, while fine lines of light trace the opening of the custom entrance door. At its centre stands a tall custom pull handle, and beside it an illuminated sign carries the office's monogram. Standing before it, a visitor already senses that they are about to cross the threshold of a truly special place, and prepares for it. Inside, the palette of taupe, gold, cypress green and walnut sets a composed, confident tone, and every... More

Naya Beach Bar & Restaurant sits directly on Faliraki Beach in Rhodes, Greece. The idea was simple: good living through natural materials, natural colours and light. The design steps away from the familiar boho and ethnic beach styles and looks instead to the island’s Italian architectural heritage, translating domes, arches and soft wave forms into contemporary organic shapes.

Through the day, sunlight filters through the custom pattern, lighting and shading the space at the same time; the moving shadows bring out... More

The architectural design of AKRES restaurant, undertaken by Minas Kosmidis Architects near the Acropolis of Lindos, seamlessly integrates the past and present, tradition and the modernized image of the island. The design spans an area of 200 square meters, with the existing shell of the building kept intact to accommodate the contemporary approach of the interior.

The five-star hotel complex in the Greek island of Rhodes strongly demonstrates its influence from nature and the flowing shapes of the water. A single main, connection of the central building to the outdoor dining and entertainment areas leading to the beach was the primary design concept for the architectural composition which arranged the components of the complex. The main connection concerns a natural route, a corridor which is familiar to the visitors during the summer period and it is marked by orthogonal gates. The existing slope serves the composition well, as the facilities setback, offering unobstructed view of the sea. The combination of solid white volumes and perforated building elements creates a "playful" interaction between... More

Overlooking the Aegean blue, the architectural canvas allows the synthetic choices to develop freely a synthesis that can create a special, kind of futuristic, hotel complex in Ialysos, Rhodes. Nine luxurious storeys are raised in absolute symmetry. The Greek elements appear in every single aspect, from the smooth curved moves that strive to sculpt the enormous volume of the building, to the combination of intense and vibrant colors of the natural flora and the earth elements. On the east side, one of the largest conference venues in Europe, whose image resemble a small stadium and also express its gathering capacity. Keeping Greek elements as its main architectural language, the intense white color provides plenty of natural light into the... More
