Glass Grove: Bar in Downtown Athens

This proposal for a bar in central Athens is conceived as an , where light, material, and vegetation shape social interaction.

Fragments of Heritage: Sivilla Hotel

A contemporary hospitality complex rooted in the layered history of Samos.

Sivilla Hotel reimagines the island’s architectural memory through a constellation of autonomous shelters and embedded narratives. Inspired by the Eupalinian aqueduct and the Castle of Lykourgos Logothetis, the project transforms historical typologies into a tactile, bioclimatic retreat, where folklore, landscape, and modernity converge.

Terraced Silence: A Residence in Porto Cheli

Set against the sloping terrain of Porto Cheli, this residence articulates a quiet dialogue between mass and void, enclosure and exposure. The composition unfolds through a series of interlocking volumes—light-toned stone, glass, and metal—each calibrated to frame the landscape and modulate the Aegean light. An external stair traces the building’s edge like a drawn line, connecting levels while choreographing movement and pause. The architecture resists spectacle, favouring restraint and elemental clarity, offering a contemplative retreat where domestic life merges with the rhythms of the coastal horizon.

Urban Veil: Renewal of a Commercial Landmark in Athens

The renovation and extension of this Athenian shopping mall redefine its identity through layered façades and calm, horizontal volumes. Vertical screens soften the building’s scale, filtering light and movement while stitching together the existing structure and the new addition. The result is a restrained yet expressive commercial architecture that engages the city with composure and permanence.

Urban Layers, a Residence in Athens.

Organized through vertical layering, this residence in Athens articulates domestic space as a sequence of thresholds from street to interior. The architecture emphasizes depth, shadow, and material continuity, offering privacy while maintaining a clear urban presence.
This residence in Athens is conceived as a composition of layered volumes that negotiate privacy, light, and urban density. Recessed balconies and textured façades modulate the building’s presence toward the street, while a restrained material palette anchors the house within its neighborhood. The project explores domestic life as a sequence of protected outdoor and indoor spaces within the city.

Terraced Living: Residential Complex in Kifisia.

This proposal for a residential development in Kifisia is organized as a sequence of stepped volumes that mediate between the scale of the street and the domestic character of the neighborhood. Set back from the public realm, the buildings frame a central landscaped stair, creating a gradual transition from city to home. Material restraint, deep balconies, and planted terraces establish a calm, contemporary living environment rooted in the garden-suburb identity of Kifisia.

Folded Horizons: Summer House near Sparta

Set within the open landscape near Sparta, this summer house is conceived as a sequence of folded planes that mediate between shade, light, and horizon. The composition of angular roofs and deep overhangs frames outdoor living while providing climatic protection from the intense Peloponnesian sun. Carved terraces, water, and circulation elements blur the boundary between interior and exterior, forming a restrained dwelling that is both grounded and outward-looking.

Garden Pavilion
Set within the landscaped grounds of a private mansion in Vravrona, this guest house is conceived as a quiet pavilion in the garden. A restrained composition of white rendered volumes, timber screening, and deep recesses creates a sheltered, light-filled retreat that mediates between interior living and the surrounding landscape.
