K-Studio is a design studio deeply rooted in architecture, based in the heart of Athens. Known for its contextual approach, the studio creates unique and immersive experiences by seamlessly blending architecture, interior design, and hardscape design. By approaching projects as collections of smaller studies, K-Studio achieves harmony and a holistic sense of experience, with meticulous attention to detail.
Greece, with its breathtaking natural beauty, rich traditions, and welcoming culture, serves as an endless source of inspiration for K-Studio. The studio utilizes local materials, artisanal skills, and agricultural products to craft sustainable and inviting spaces. Their work combines tradition with modern simplicity, exuding an instinctive refinement. The design studio has developed a strong expertise in leisure-focused projects, ranging from private residences to large-scale developments such as Mykonos Airport and a marina on the Turkish coast. They strive to create designs that are not only functional but also imbue a sense of pleasure and comfort. 
One of K-Studio’s most recent and notable projects is LIKNON, a collaboration with Metaxa. Situated in a valley beneath the village of Vourliotes on the island of Samos, this project fully reflects the studio’s design philosophy. Rather than a traditional building, the studio designed a landscape where the vineyard takes centre stage. The architecture is inspired by the dry-stone terraces of Samos, where the renowned Muscat grapes are cultivated. This approach ensures the design blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings, while highlighting the historical and cultural significance of the site.
Architecture is about crafting stories that connect people to places
The project invites visitors to wander through the vineyards, descend underground, and engage in interactive and sensory experiences that bring Metaxa’s rich history to life. LIKNON merges tradition and innovation by not only showcasing the origins of the brand but also exploring its future through experimental products and modern production practices. The design reflects K-Studio’s core values: sustainability, minimalism, and respect for the natural environment. By employing local materials and craftsmanship, the project pays homage to the culture of Samos while offering visitors an entirely new and immersive experience. It exemplifies how architecture can tell a story and create an unforgettable journey. 
Through projects like LIKNON, K-Studio demonstrates how architecture can contribute to preserving and evolving cultural heritage. At the same time, the studio underscores the importance of modern hospitality and luxurious simplicity, ensuring their work is not only functional but also profoundly meaningful.
