The assessment · LivingTheta Desk

This is the practice a buyer meets first, because the biomorphic white language is the one you see driving the coast. That part of the reputation is entirely earned.
A correction to what this site said earlier, and to what agents will tell you: the portfolio here is dense but a large share of it is apartment buildings and small complexes, not single-family villas. Reve en Suspens, Allure Blanche, Chrysalis and Pavilion Terraces are multi-unit.
That does not make it the wrong appointment for a house. It does mean the question in the first meeting is which of their built projects is closest to your brief, and the answer may be fewer buildings than the portfolio implies.
The work announces itself. If you want a house that disappears into the pines, this is the wrong office; if you want the plot to produce a building people photograph, it is the obvious one.

Pavlos Chatziangelidis founded 314 in 2004, and the practice has published more residential work on the Athens Riviera than any other office — Vouliagmeni, Voula, Glyfada and Elliniko, in a consistent sculptural white language.

A correction we are making to ourselves

This file previously described 314 as the practice with the most built private houses on this coast. That is not supportable. The portfolio is the densest on the Riviera, but a large share of it — Reve en Suspens in Voula, Allure Blanche, Chrysalis, Pavilion Terraces — is apartment houses and small complexes rather than single-family villas.

What is fair, and remains fair, is the second half: the language is the most recognisable on this coastline. Nobody drives from Glyfada to Vouliagmeni without seeing it.

What to ask them

Which built project is closest to the house you want, and can you visit it. That is the right question for any practice and it is the one that separates a portfolio from a proof. The other terms worth arguing about come after it.

If a single-family house on a difficult plot is the brief, ISV and Tsolka have the deeper villa record.
