Residence in Heraklion

Within this setting, a quieter corner emerges, dedicated to pause and self-care. Soft textures and circular light forms create a gentle, almost ritual atmosphere, where everyday moments become more personal.

Materiality continues to shape the experience. Ribbed glass diffuses light, while smoked oak veneers introduce depth and warmth, creating a layered spatial composition.

Spaces unfold with a sense of continuity, allowing the atmosphere to shift gradually throughout the interior.

Residence in Heraklion

A unified space, defined through material continuity.
Living and kitchen unfold as one, connected through a shared architectural language. Travertino natural stone anchors the composition, bringing warmth, texture and a quiet sense of permanence.
Rather than separating functions, the space flows, allowing everyday life to unfold within a calm and cohesive environment.

Residential Complex in Kifisia

How does one design for a place like Kifisia, a district defined by rich vegetation, historic villas and a long architectural memory, especially on a site of high visibility?

Our response begins with restraint.
Clean lines, clear geometry and a careful management of scale shape a contemporary residential complex in Kifisia, where architecture engages in a quiet dialogue with its surroundings. Stone surfaces and landscape elements become integral components of the composition, grounding the project within its context.
Rather than competing with the character of the area, the design seeks clarity, balance and a sense of belonging.
A contemporary architecture that chooses not to impose, but to quietly become part of the place.

Caved Retreat in Kea

Carved into the hillside of Kea, the project emerges from the terrain as a natural extension of it. Defined by horizontal lines and material continuity, the architecture follows the landscape rather than imposing itself.
Set within the Cyclades, the project reflects a quiet approach to residential architecture — grounded, integrated, and shaped by light and topography.
