A guesthouse hidden in the Byzantine citadel of Chora, Patmos. Built by Parthenios Pagostas in 1597, the house has been transformed into a private sanctuary. The restoration involved a detailed study of the building’s history and architecture to reinstate the original layout and character, following a series of interventions over the years. Locally sourced Patmian stone, weathered marble, and naturally oxidised iron were introduced to complement the patina of the traditional architecture. As a modern interpretation of monastic living, the interiors make a virtue of reclaimed materials. Opaline lamps, marble sinks and iron bedframes are respectfully repurposed. Built-in seating and bespoke joinery are made locally by master craftsmen. Traditional Greek elements such as hand-loomed textiles, large antique olive jars, vintage ceramics and lanterns from Lesvos emphasise the sense of place.

There is something so raw, simple and mythical about Greece. Oikia Sekiari on the Greek island of Patmos is all of that, and beautifully designed by Leda Athanasopoulou. Photos: Miguel Flores-Vianna.

We are so excited to showcase The Lake House! A full home renovation of an original Lake House built in the 1970’s. Located in Canyon Lake, CA. We gutted this house, changed the floorplan to be more functional, raised the ceiling in the kitchen, and wrapped the existing beams in veneer. We designed every square foot of this home, from the four bathrooms, to the two kitchens, the design encompases a cohesive color palette, and exquisite materials. The Lake House is playful, yet sophisticated, with a nod to the original 70’s architecture and vibe.
This home definitively has some mid-century still kicking around but more modern vibes added with this new revival. It is funky, bright and playful and I could not love that living room more – the soaring ceilings and knotty pine walls and that fantastic free-standing fireplace in the centre. Brilliant!!!
