“The home’s gentle curves form part of a vocabulary of shapes and volumes that the architects used in their design development, and which they ‘insert’ into the home at various scales and with various functions, in a playful and carefully orchestrated design gesture”

THE OLIAROS GROUP

CURATED RESIDENTIAL HOSPITALITY

The OLIAROS odyssey began in 2001, when founder Iasson Tsakonas bought his first plot of land on Antiparos, a tiny, untouched jewel of an island in the center of the Cyclades. Our first residential development project included seven houses in the north-west of the island, and introduced the concept of high quality, low impact properties to Antiparos. Our vision was always to create original, architecture-led homes, neighborhoods and communities –that are seamlessly integrated into the local landscape.

The Antiparos Project has grown to more than 50 properties, working with more than 25 architects over 20 years, transforming the island into a highly desirable residential destination. OLIAROS Villa Rentals was launched in 2013, combining exceptional houses — many of which are exclusive to our portfolio — with high end concierge services. In the same year, we opened Beach House Antiparos as a meeting place and service point for OLIAROS clients and the island community

THE OLIAROS WAY

OLIAROS  is a one-of-a-kind property development company committed to creating projects of progressive architectural design with deep Cycladic roots, a unique respect to the environment and top quality construction detailing. OLIAROS works on a presale business model with a holistic approach, from land acquisition to post-delivery services.

With the deep knowledge of the local environment, landscape and culture, OLIAROS envisions the overall masterplan and development concept, based on which the individual houses and neighborhoods are designed. Focusing on efficiency, quality and a decreased overall footprint of each residential development, OLIAROS supervises all procedures, from larger scale to minor details,  while collaborating with experienced professionals through all stages of the process (design-construction-delivery). After the delivery of a house, OLIAROS offers a variety of services upon request, from staff hiring and maintenance, to concierge services via OLIAROS Villa Rentals and Beach House Antiparos.

PRINCIPLES

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

All OLIAROS projects are adapted to their local environment, and built according to the principles of bioclimatic architecture. Designs are focused around a series of strategic solutions such as orientation, cross-ventilation, insulation, using on-site resources and the collection of rainwater. All of these factors enable seamless indoor/outdoor living for our residents, while minimizing the energy footprint of our properties. As technology evolves, we are striving towards self-sufficient houses, as well as aiming to convert all of our properties — existing and future — to 100% solar energy.

COMMUNITY MAKING

OLIAROS builds neighborhoods, as well as unique homes. Via thoughtful masterplanning, we create elegant micro environments that connect together to form communities — that thrive in harmony with the local landscape, character and culture. We balance privacy and individuality with a sense of belonging, and immersion in authentic island living.

 

LANDSCAPE

We have worked with landscape architects Doxiadis+ (since 2001) and H. Pangalou (since 2017), helping to establish a symbiotic approach to building within the Cycladic ecosystem. Development is respectful to the natural character of our sites, taking inspiration from their landform and incorporating this into our design strategies. Landscape structures and planting design are informed by the local environment’s language, taking into consideration its seasonal rhythm, colors, shapes and scents.
