Hgiso Apartment

Syros
2024

This apartment in Syros beautifully blends the island’s rich heritage with modern design. Drawing inspiration from the grandeur of neoclassical architecture, it features custom-made elements, marble floors, and a warm earthy color palette that creates a timeless and inviting atmosphere. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to ensure a seamless flow between spaces, allowing each room to feel connected yet distinct. Clean lines and well-balanced proportions give the apartment a harmonious feel, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

A standout feature is the claustra—a perforated architectural element—that subtly divides the living areas from the kitchen and bathroom. This “limit without limits” adds texture, character, and a touch of Mediterranean charm, while preserving the openness of the layout.

What truly sets this home apart are its views: from one side, large windows and a balcony overlook the bustling port and historic shipyard, while on the other, a perfectly framed window captures the old town. Every detail has been carefully designed to connect the home to its surroundings, making this apartment a true reflection of Syros—rooted in history, yet perfectly suited to modern living.
