Southwand house among A+ Awards Finalists

We are proud to share that Southwand House has been named a Finalist in the Architecture +Stone category at the Architizer A+ Awards.

Rooted in the Peloponnesian vernacular and brought to life in close collaboration with skilled stone builders, this recognition holds a special meaning for us, as a reflection of our commitment to an architecture that is grounded, tactile, and inseparable from its place.

MOCNA named an A+ Award Finalist

We are pleased to share that Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino has been selected as a Finalist in the Architecture +Landscape category at the Architizer A+ Awards.

The project draws inspiration from the local agricultural tradition of the mandria – dry stone animal shelters, built by hand by farmers working the land. Formed from stones found on site, these humble structures follow the natural contours of the terrain, embodying a direct and unembellished relationship between architecture and landscape.

The project was developed in collaboration with Tombazis & Associates Architects, and you can cast your vote for it in the Popular Choice Award.

Milan Design Week 2026: Meet us at Alcova Talks

We are thrilled to join Alcova Talks at Milan Design Week 2026, curated by Design Hotels under the theme “Designed to Stay”, a series of conversations at the Baggio Military Hospital as part of Alcova’s wider cultural platform.

During the session “Designed to Evolve: From Concept to Experience”, Dimitris Karampatakis will share the stage with our friends, Nikos Karaflos –Dexamenes Seaside Hotel, Stratis Batayas –Manna, and Josh Hickey –Hydra Book Club, to explore how hospitality spaces move from architectural intent into lived experience.

Join us as we reflect on hospitality as a continuous, collaborative process between design and operation, where hotels become living systems shaped over time by landscape, people, and use.

Building with Earth

We were invited by Damask and Piliko to explore the potential of building with rammed earth in a hands-on workshop.

Shaped from widely accessible raw materials, the process brought us closer to an ancient technique – one defined by its mass, tactility, and quiet environmental intelligence.

"Traditional, Illegal" - A Series of Food Activism Events at Dexamenes

Stirring away from conventional hospitality programs, Dexamenes presents “Traditional, Illegal”, a series of events exploring culinary gestures, knowledge, and practices that have quietly fallen out of use, or even become forbidden.

Through immersive experiences, moments where cooking and communal rituals become acts of cultural preservation, memory, and resistance are brought to life. Kitchens, courtyards, and repurposed spaces transform into stages for ancestral practices, where fire is reclaimed, bread is broken, and the past is lived anew – challenging notions of legality while celebrating care, continuity, and a profound sense of place.
