The awarded projects:
European Centre of Architecture, Art and Design: The restoration of a “damaged” landmark building, in an architectural study by Anastasis Bachas, co-edited by Ioannis Karalias.
Το τριώροφο νεοκλασικό κτίριο του 1895, στο ιστορικό κέντρο της Αθήνας, ανακαινίστηκε με μεγάλο σεβασμό σε κάθε πτυχή του, προκειμένου να στεγάσει το Ευρωπαϊκό κέντρο αρχιτεκτονικής και design.
The 1895 three-story neoclassical building in the historical centre of Athens was renovated with great respect to each of its aspects, in order for it to house the European Centre of Architecture and Design.
Having been “damaged” by the way it was formerly handled, EPIKYKLOS, with the study of architect Anastasios Bachas and the co-editing of internationally renowned architect, visual artist and President of the European Centre, Ioannis Karalias, approached the project with particular care in order to restore the interior to its original form with minimal intervention in the building shell.
Countless difficulties and technical issues were required to be dealt with. However, each of them constituted a part of the architectural design and a key challenge for the accomplishment of the entire project.

Penthouse on Solonos Street: The purity of the architectural solution, in an architectural study by Villy Attart
The penthouse of the typical 1950s Athenian apartment building on Solonos Street has been inhabited by people of letters and artists with special requirements, having undergone multiple alterations.
The circular passage in the apartment that led to closed spaces-rooms, through a narrow corridor, was the main element that the architectural proposal sought to demolish.
Positioned on the north-south axis, overlooking Lycabettus and the Acropolis, it was organized right from the start in such a way that the new living space of the now four-member family would be open, fluid, functional, with unobstructed views on the two important landmarks of the city from different points, whilst maintaining the urban character of the old Athenian apartment building.

Conversion of an office space into a short-term rental residence on Didotou Street, in an architectural study by Ghost Designers
The apartment of the 1970s building on Didotou Street, planned by Ghost Designers and constructed by EPIKYKLOS, was redesigned with the aim of converting it from an office space to a short-term rental residence. Special constructions with particular emphasis on the textures, materials, color palette, shapes and geometry of the space offer the guests a unique experience.

Frame: Apartment with a framed view of the Old Parliament House of Athens, in an architectural study conducted by Valia Panagiotou
The Frame apartment in the centre of Athens, designed by Valia Panagiotou and built by EPIKYKLOS, was transformed from an office space into a fully functional residence, acquiring its own new identity. The layout and aesthetics of the space were redefined with respect to the elements of the old days and the panoramic orientation of the property towards the Old Parliament of Athens. The main axis was the creation of an ephemeral base for a new couple, with the ability to offer a holistic experience of the urban landscape through the materials and amenities of a flexible and multifunctional space. The special constructions, the wood, the preservation of the existing classical elements and the earthy and warm-toned colour palette ultimately compose the character and aesthetics of the project.

Renovation of a residence in Exarchia: maintaining the good values of the original identity, in an architectural study by Hiboux Architecture.
The complete transformation of the 116 sq.m. 1965 apartment in Exarchia was executed with the aim of meeting the contemporary needs of the family that was going to inhabit it. The study performed by Hiboux Architecture and the construction by EPIKYKLOS aspired to create a modern, bright, spacious and functional space while preserving the good values of its original identity. The previous labyrinthine layout of the space was functionally streamlined on a different axis and the permeability of the apartment was highlighted through a series of individual movements.
The award was received by Andriani Panou Papatheodorou – EPIKYKLOS Deputy Managing Director.

Complete renovation of a four-storey detached house in Palaia Penteli, in an architectural study by Elena Krini.
This EPIKYKLOS project, in a study by Elena Krini, involves the complete redesign both internally and of the surrounding area of a four-storey detached house in Palaia Penteli, with the purpose of meeting the modern residential needs of a family of four.
The biggest issue of the previous state, which the new proposal tried to overcome, was the compartmentalized plan of the ground floor and the first floor with narrow corridors that fragmented the space and limited the light. The new layout of the spaces, the materials and colours, the hidden lighting, and interventions in the surrounding space blend in harmoniously, offering the owners a new living experience.
