Archontariki and Office Design

Luxurious furnishings, including tufted velvet seating and ornate Persian-style carpets, introduce an air of sophistication and comfort, further elevating the environment. Decorative features such as coffered ceilings and chandeliers offer a refined nod to the church’s historic grandeur, blending seamlessly with the office’s functional needs. Overall, the design reflects a careful balance of tradition, prestige, and modernity.

The interior design of Archontariki and offices at the Metochi of the the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and in Kypseli, Athens, merges classical elegance with modern functionality, reflecting the institution’s historical significance and contemporary role. The design emphasizes the use of warm, natural materials, such as rich wooden finishes that evoke a sense of tradition and craftsmanship, harmoniously balanced with clean lines and modern lighting solutions.

The project was successfully accomplished in collaboration with USEarchitecture.

Arched windows and wooden detailing draw inspiration from Byzantine architectural forms, fostering a sense of continuity with the Orthodox Church’s cultural heritage. The neutral palette, combined with subtle accents of soft grays and warm tones, creates a calm and inviting atmosphere, while the thoughtful integration of recessed and pendant lighting enhances the spatial clarity and emphasizes key architectural elements.
