About

Timeless architecture, grounded in landscape and experience.

About the Studio
The studio focuses on designing residences, holiday premises, and refined furniture details. Every project is grounded in precision, timeless aesthetics, and a profound understanding of the relationship between space, landscape, and human experience. The approach balances functionality with meaning, ensuring architecture that endures structurally, aesthetically, and experientially.

Clients are guided through processes with clarity, responsibility, and subtlety, no matter the complexity of the project — from private homes to hospitality developments.

Open dialogue and sensitivity to context are central, with each design shaped by landscape, light, and the essential logic of its elements.

About Me
I am an architect with over twenty years of professional experience and academic foundations (MSc, MA, PhDc). My methodologies integrate research and practice to foster design that supports both functionality and meaningful habitation.

Beyond practice, I have contributed as a jury member for the international Architizer Awards and A’ Design Awards, evaluating outstanding works of architecture and design.

My practice extends beyond Greece, with a vision to create spaces that resonate globally and make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does renovation truly mean in practice?

It is a process of reorganizing space. Light, materials, functions, and movement find a new balance.In homes, the aim is to make everyday life feel lighter.In hotels, the goal is to elevate the guest experience with clarity and character.

2. How long does a renovation take?

For apartments and houses, timelines usually range from 4 to 8 months.Boutique hotels are delivered in phases and often require 6 to 12 months. Larger buildings demand more coordination and reach 12 to 18 months.

3. What is the “30% rule”?

A guiding reference that helps estimate a reasonable investment range compared to the value of the property. It is not a binding rule. It is just a useful indicator at the early stages.

4. How much does a renovation cost?

Homes typically range from €900/m² to €2,500/m²,depending on the level of detail, materials, and craftsmanship required.Hotel room upgrades usually vary between €1,500–€3,500/m²,while full redesigns can reach €3,000–€5,000/m².

5. Can a hotel be renovated while still operating?

Yes. Phased planning, acoustic strategies, and smart scheduling — especially during low season — make it possible.A similar logic applies to homes and other buildings, where work can be carried out in sections.

6. What elements increase the value of a space?

Natural light, fluid circulation, ergonomics, clear organization, acoustic comfort, immersive atmosphere, tailored built-in storage, and a material palette that gives depth and character.

7. How does a room get refreshed effectively?

Through calibrated lighting, integrated storage, thoughtful material combinations, and a quiet simplicitythat brings calmness and clarity to daily life.

8. How is a realistic budget formed?

By considering the design scope, permits, materials, supervision, and a contingency of about 10–15%.

9. Which interventions improve sustainability and reduce consumption?

High-quality insulation, efficient mechanical systems, shading strategies, airtight detailing,and water-saving fixtures.

10. How is the project timeline protected?

With a solid material plan, consistent construction monitoring, and timely decision-making.

11. Do you undertake projects in different countries?

Yes. The practice operates with an international outlook, taking on projects across countries.Local teams and specialised collaborators are engaged whenever needed,so each project grows naturally from its context and culture.

12. What is the first step in starting a project?

A Feasibility & Needs Assessment Session that outlines scope, potential, and requirements.

13. How are small spaces truly optimized?

By organizing both the floor plan and the vertical zones, integrating architectural storage volumes, and introducing adaptable solutions that shift with the rhythms of everyday life.

14. How is energy performance enhanced?

With correct orientation, breathable materials, strategic shading, low-consumption systems, and the use of natural elements.

15. How does contemporary design connect with traditional character?

Through an understanding of local identity and a contemporary approach that carries the essence of tradition without imitation — using materials, rhythms, and spatial gestures that continue the story of the landscape.

16. Can a renovation respect the structural frame?

Absolutely. The structural skeleton remains intact, and around it a new interior and/or exterior world is shaped, with interventions that honor the structure and reveal its possibilities.

17. How is a home shaped so that it reflects the person who lives in it?

Through dialogue and a deep reading of habits, rhythms, and desires — translated into spaces, atmospheres, and material choices that express the resident’s life.

18. How is a façade upgraded?

With materials connected to the surroundings, with gestures that refine proportions, and with thoughtful handling of light and landscape so the façade gains identity, depth, and a clear presence that strengthens the character of the property.

19. How does the construction process stay smooth?

Through clear communication, a steady schedule, and systematic on-site supervision.

20. How does a project remain within budget without compromising quality?

With precise cost planning, defined priorities, and material and construction choices that support both design intent and financial balance.

21. How are small areas in a home best utilized?

With integrated constructions that serve storage and daily life, flexible partitions that reshape movement, and lighting that creates depth, layers, and a sense of generosity even in limited square meters.

22. Which sustainable solutions suit a new home?

Bioclimatic design that uses orientation and microclimate, thermally reinforced envelopes for stable comfort, and natural materials — wood, stone, clay, lime plasters —that breathe, regulate humidity, and give an atmosphere of grounded calm.

23. How is a building designed to remain relevant over time?

With clear proportions, restrained compositions that allow life to unfold, and textures that mature gracefully so the building stays meaningful and alive.

24. Which parameters are crucial for a new build?

A thorough site analysis, exploration of orientation, microclimate, and daylight, and a clear architectural narrative that organizes space with coherence from the first sketch to the final form.

25. What are the critical elements in hotel design?

Guest flow, the behavior of light, acoustic awareness, and a unified atmosphere that gives the hotel a memorable identity.

26. How is local culture integrated into design?

Through the study of materials, techniques, and stories rooted in the landscape and its people.

27. How is durability ensured in a new construction?

With well-crafted details, materials selected for their endurance and for the creative possibilities they open, and teams skilled in executing each technique correctly —so durability emerges naturally from the overall quality of the work.

28. How does a collaboration begin formally?

It starts with an initial meeting where the needs, scale, and character of the project are assessed.The formal collaboration begins with a signed contract and an advance payment, which set the framework and activate the first stage of the design process.
