Our house was a traditional, urban, stone-made house + 100 years old that have never gone through a major renovation. We always loved its location and the property around it, but it lacked major facilities and it was not in good condition. During summertime, staying was easier since we spent most our time on the veranda overlooking the pine and pistachio trees and used the house just for our overnight sleep. We randomly stayed in the house during wintertime and only for a couple of days as it was humid and cold, we could not warm it up. Our dream for years (actually decades) was to find a good architect who could listen to our needs and respect the character of the house while offer us a practical, easy to maintain house with lots of open space and as much storage space as possible. Too much to ask? Yes, but not for Natalia!!!

Our new house is a dream come true! It is the most beautiful, airy, unconventional, traditional, fabulous house that we could only dream in our wildest dreams. We can’t get enough of our house, we enjoy every moment in it, summer and winter the same! It is spacious (although only 50 cm2 in total), airy, sunny, respecting its traditional image by keeping old artifacts (like the floor), revealing and restoring the stone walls while introducing new beautiful features like the ‘benitses’ and the hidden lights that shed a beautiful light all over the house. We enjoy everything in our house, from cooking in the traditional kitchen, reading in the hall area, sleeping in our built-in beds to working in the living room.

Natalia is an excellent listener and a talented designer with deep knowledge of the cultural features that should be enhanced or brought into existence. All her ideas, even those we have never considered ourselves and seemed a bit strange at the time, made sense in the end! I remember I was somehow worried that a wall with inlaid holes would diminish the available space and look out of place, but Natalia asked us to reflect on this option while offering us another option as well. I am so glad we trusted her initial proposal!

I would suggest that you trust Natalia’s proposals! Natalia always listen carefully to your needs, she will never propose something that will not satisfy your needs in the end.

Natalia combines several good characteristics that made her the ideal designer for our house: beyond an exquisite architect, she is a talented artist, her main aim being to facilitate our life in the house and design a beautiful house by studying every detail and considering all the daily activities in the house. From the stylish beam lights above the beds with the easily accessible switch, to the open cupboard with its inlay bottom and the inlaid wall for showing old artifacts and storing daily objects everything was well thought and designed with love! Even the colour palette was chosen with love with a view to enhance the life of every object in the house.

NATALIA IS THE BEST! Trust her vibes, she will never betray you and your needs!

Thank you for my wonderful home! It's much more than I have dreamt about!

Natalia designed my home in Athens. She was there to consult me from purchase to construction. When others said don't buy this home, Natalia saw the potential. I trusted her sensitive and insightful character and got 10 times what I was expecting out of our collaboration. She had a unique way to drive me through my needs and desires about my everyday paradise.

Combining rough materials in a way they look cosy and of course playful. Magically and totally transforming space with discrete gestures and out of the box ideas.

Once again thanks, I feel very lucky to have met you!!
