Flat coversion concept design,detailed drawings, contractors assesment, site visits
New building please visit
An existing sixties flat was designed to accomodate an orthopaedic surgury. I designed the drawings from initial concept to details, assisted the owner in chosing a contractor after meetings and offers. Half of the existing flat was torn down, while electric and plumbing infrastructure was replaced by new one. The construction phase is now controlled by the contractor while I do site visits from time to time.
ΙΑΤ_012_Α1 This is a building that was designed for three different affiliated families. I was15/09/2013 called to provide a more refined Interior design than the standard that was being provided by the contractor. I had the possibility of enriching and making some changes in the initial plans, design and supervise details, masonry, gypsumboard, steel and marble constructions, lighting design, exterior space, custom made furniture, choose colors and upholstery. The project was managed by the initial contractor, while I worked closely with the clients, handed in drawings, visited the site and supervised. On some occasions I brought in special makers.

alteration inception to final drawings, meetings with client and contractor ΖΕGE architects
I was called in to finish this residence that had remained incomplete. I made a few alterations in the building itself and mainly worked on redesigning the exterior and interior space. as well as managing the completion process: switching to central air conditioning heating and cooling system, installing a security system, a fireplace, doors, windows, bespoke furniture, railings, glassworks, marble installation, decoration, fixtures, lighting and finishing details.
The client had bought an existing property in Mykonos. I was responsible to modify and redesign the interior and exterior landscape includinga swimming pool and a pergola, in order to fit the client’s needs.
As the owner’s taste was classical, everything was designed to blend with existing classical furniture but with a more contemporary twist.

V i l l a g e e n t a i r t a i n m e n t Pa r k Re n t i Renovation of existing cinema and shopping mall Zege Architects, Preliminary study
This mall and cinema complex was in need of a facelift, in order to become attractive again. As a team member, I participated in a new masterplan, redesigning interiors as well as a massive exterior space, to accomodate outdoor cinema facilities as well as recreational activities. Extra attention was given to the exterior facade and its lighting, so as to make a visible difference from the street.

I assisted the senior interior designer from inception to final details, in order to design and build mock-up rooms, entry and circulation areas, meeting rooms, rest rooms, beauty and spa facillities, roof garden, a VIP meeting room. Visualisation was an important part of the project, as it helped the client in decision making and was a way to form the final atmosphere.

As a team member of Decathlon S.A. ,in collaboration with Bligh Voller Nield, I participated in the study for the conversion of an existing aircraft hangar to a new basketball and fencing venue (15,000 and 7,000 capacity) and a Media and Broadcast Centre. New constructions included a hockey, a softball (5,000 capacity) and two baseball venues( 12,000 and 7,000 capacity each). The precinct was the second largest collection of sporting venues for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and hosted up to 150,000 spectators per day.

A plasterboard contstruction acted as a separation wall between the public area and the storage and provided a fridge and display alcoves.

temporary exhibition space Team member WhereHouse architects, concept design, detailed drawings, coordination .WhereHouse architects
This showroom was to be relocated in a prestigious listed building. It would serve only dealers of the specific brand.
This project’s challenge was to make a display infrasturcture, inside a listed building, on an extremely tight budget. The whole set had to be designed so as to be dismantled, transferred and stored for a different event/ show. All parts of the building should remain intact.
My work involved designing bespoke furniture for the reception and offices, communicating with the contractor and site visits.

guerilla bench Team member, bench design concept, working hands
traditional village house renovation and extension design, active involvement in construction WhereHouse architects
A former parking space in a central Athenian neighbourhood was left void after the ending of it’s contract. Due to complicated property transactions, although it΄s ownership was passed on to the council, in order to become a park, it had been left unbuilt for decades.
Although zinc has been widely used as a roof and cladding material in village houses in the past it has now ceased to be used. This is part due to local production restrictions and to lack of specialised contractors.
The local community organised a transformation event- a guerilla garden action. Lots of groups and inividuals volunteered and arrived on a Sunday morning to transform the empty plot into a park.
As we had access to the source of the production, we decided to custom make the roof for one of our projects. We managed to use this terrific material and install it ourselves, while showing the procedure to local builders.
WhereHouse architects designed and built a bench for socialising and other urban accessories .We were glad to see our bench appropriated and used in various ways.
Prior to installation, the custom designed plates where laser-cut and machine folded. They were assembled on site so as to provide a water-proof skin. The extension of the original stone building was constructed from bare concrete, forming generous window views and a wide sitting bench.

Sachtouri st a former shoe-making small artisanship conversion into a live/work space Concept design, detailed drawings, construction management, site and building supervision
Located near the Acropolis, this flat is an excessive space for an artist- illustrator. Spaces include an open plan living room and studio space, while the bedroom, office, storage remain more private and the kitchen serves as an everyday room and an exit to the 100 square metre terrace. I tried to keep some of the distictive characteristics of the building, such as the open plan, boldness of materials and constructed from scratch a terazzo floor in the terrace, with appropriate openings for a green roof, to be constructed later on. The making of the terazzo was a wide-spread technique, almost forgotten today. Glass chips where added to reflect the Athenian sun. The process was documented in film. Extra care was given to all construction details as I was responsible for the entire work.

This piece explored different forms of (dance) language. A wall divided the two performers while also acted as an interactive projection surface. In the end ofthe play the wall broke down to it’s components, while massive iron lighting fixtures landed to the floor.
Interventions In Public space

land art project concept, execution
Following a workshop with artists Jan Hawgarth and Jim Buchanan, I made a subtle path from left over material from a local quarry. This slim interupted line was a reference to traces left by the quarring equipment. The new path led to selected views in the area, while celebrating the walking practice.

The 2011 Athens Biennale had the theme Monodrome. A yellow line linked inside- out, a contemporary exhibition space to the surrounding urban environment. The line marked it’s route passing through floors, walls, doors and other architectural elements of the building, providing an expressive, visible and costless signage, generating various discussions during the marking process in the street.

What does value mean? How is it being created? If so, how are it’s different aspects (economic, aesthetics,education,...) interconnected? Does one experience the current social circumstances as a crisis of values across all levels? How do we redefine today the value of life and things? A weekly-basis workshop during AGORA, the 4th Athens Biennale brought artists and academics together, in order to discuss on issues around value.
