Project: "Nisié" Boutique - Meganisi, Ionian Islands

Introducing our latest project in Meganisi island, Greece - a contemporary island concept boutique that brings together curated designer fashion and the authentic flavors of the island.
Natural oak textures, earthy neutral tones, soft indirect lighting and clean architectural lines shape a calm, elevated atmosphere that feels effortless and timeless. The design balances minimal elegance with island warmth, allowing the products to stand out while maintaining a cohesive and inviting identity.
The exterior unfolds as an inviting Mediterranean-Ionian courtyard — natural stone arches, warm materials and lush greenery create a relaxed yet refined setting, introducing the boutique experience before entering the space.
A cohesive retail environment, deeply connected to its island surroundings.

✨Project: "Modern Cottage Family House"✨

Inspired by the lush greenery surrounding the plot, we designed a family house that is, above all, highly functional, yet seamlessly blends with the natural environment of the region.
This design project masterfully walks the line between modern and traditional, creating a warm and refined home for families.

The extensive use of natural wood on the ceiling and custom furniture adds warmth and character, evoking the inviting feel of a modern cottage while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic.
Large openings flood the interior with natural light and connect the living spaces with the serene outdoor area.

The kitchen and dining space combine natural textures, soft earthy tones, and sculptural lighting — forming the heart of the home, while in the bedroom, tactile materials and a calm palette create a peaceful retreat — an ode to timeless comfort and understated elegance.

Project: Bar Thalia — Manhattan’s Mediterranean Escape

Step inside Bar Thalia — a space where wabi-sabi serenity meets Mediterranean soul, suspended above the Manhattan skyline. From sun-washed plaster walls to handcrafted pottery and woven textures, every element is curated with intention and warmth, while arched niches and layered lighting bring softness and depth to the space.
Stone, wood, and ambient glow orchestrate a setting that invites stillness — a quiet luxury in contrast to the city's rhythm.
🌿 Designed to feel like a coastal breeze in the heart of Manhattan.
🍷 A space designed to be felt as much as seen.

Project: "Yasouvlaki" - Greek Restaurant, Upper West Side, NYC

Stepping in the ground floor private space of ‘Yasouvlaki’ Greek restaurant, you get instantly the feeling that you walk in the narrow distinctive paved streets of a Cycladic Island in Greece among the traditional white – washed walls of the Aegean coast.
Our interior design approach wanted to bring the calming embrace of natural textures—wood, stone, and woven elements—alongside touches of Greek heritage, like intricate mosaics and rustic decoration elements, evoking the spirit of Greek hospitality and tradition.
The exterior restaurant dining space steps you back in time to the charm of classic 70's Greek design, bringing a nostalgic vibe and perfectly blending the charm of old-world Greece with the energy of NYC.
