Artist Studio and Residence
A former textiles storage in a Koukaki semi-basement, stripped to its concrete bones and remade as an artist's studio and residence. Custom steel frames open onto a small courtyard, drawing light deep into the space. Evoian and Naxian marble, plywood and steel meet the original terrazzo and concrete.

Metaxourgio Apartment
The apartment reflects on Metaxourgio, a central Athens neighbourhood full of abandoned buildings. Instead of tearing down walls we punctured through them, bringing light and air across the plan. Recycled materials, a marble sink, construction plywood and custom furniture complete the design.

House in Syros
A cube of the maximum allowed volume, 9 × 8 × 7.5 m, is placed on the plot. Two volumes are carved out to open long views and host summer life, giving the sun, air and privacy of a larger atrium. Openings of fixed proportions grow larger at the entrance and towards the view.

Penteli House
A single family residence on Mount Penteli, granted a building permit. The code allows only pitched roofs, so we turned the rule upside down and applied the same strategy to the facades. An open living area under a central skylight connects to the pool and garden.

Politeia House
A single family residence on a steep hillside in Politeia, in its final permit phase. The complex building code led to a composition of sliding volumes in dialogue with the landscape and the Attica views. A large terrace forms a new ground floating above the slope, blending indoors and outdoors on every level.

Haus N Athen
Haus N Athen is a contemporary art space in the center of Athens. Once an abandoned shirt factory, it was restored and converted into an open plan art space. Structural elements are stripped down to their original form, unnecessary walls are demolished and the building infrastructure is exposed. The aim was to create a space that remains true to its origins and honest about its intentions.
Wasn’t it you who said that it was going to last forever. (A Maximum Spectral Density Estimation). 21 February – 16 March 2019. Curated and set design by Hypercomf. Photos: Ioannis Koliopoulos.

Exarhia Renovation
In this apartment renovation the goal was to improve lighting in an already dark kitchen. We opened it up to the living room and used white lacquered cabinetry while preserving and repairing the existing marble sink and completing the design with countertops from the same Athenian white Dionysos marble.
The bathroom was fitted with quarter-matched Italian Venatino marble slabs.

Redesign of the GSP Area
Lefkosia is the last divided capital in Europe. We bring back a part of the lost city: its street pattern organises the large void, with programmatic islands on the upper level for larger events. Filled with nightlife, the pattern of the other half of the city becomes visible at night.

Amalgam — Book and Blues House
A communal library and cultural centre devoted to blues music. The building's shape is an amalgam of the city's industrial past and early modernist buildings. Instead of dividing the programme into boxes, the different functions blend together in one flowing space.

Pharmacy in Kato Patissia
A renovation of a typical neighbourhood pharmacy in Kato Patissia, surrounded by drab apartment buildings. We stripped it down to its structural elements as a less-is-more critique of its context. Simple materials and the retained 1980s window frames kept costs down.

Aegina Summer House Extension
A 1910 stone house, extended and renovated. Given its small size we opened the living space to the plot, letting views and light fill the house. The exterior takes up Aegina's traditional use of colour, tied to the island's light and atmosphere.

A speculative urban research project on the shrinking of Athens. The city's many abandoned buildings become the ground for a new strategy: architectural ruins merging with nature reclaiming its place in the urban fabric.

Europan 10, 1st Prize
Affordable housing for artists and students with a public gallery on the ground floor, in Svartlamon, a self-governing community in Trondheim. The masterplan adds satellites to the submarine bunker Dora 1: a rooftop open-air space, a sunken plaza and a spiral amphitheatre as a marketplace.
