RIDGE HOUSE by AREA is featured in WALLPAPER * April ’23 Issue

“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”

OLIAROS’ APS House by ARP, featured in the WALL STREET JOURNAL MAGAZINE

“From a distance it looks symmetrical, but up close there are irregularities: a higher roof here, a latticed wall there, mismatched window and door openings”

THE OLIAROS GROUP

CURATED RESIDENTIAL HOSPITALITY

Founded in 2001, OLIAROS launched its first development project with seven bespoke houses designed by young architects, introducing the concept of high-end, low-density housing in Antiparos. The vision behind this was the creation of unique architecture-led homes, neighborhoods and communities that are seamlessly integrated within the local environment.

The Antiparos Project has now grown organically to a total of 54 properties, transforming it into a highly desirable residential destination while protecting its original character. With an emphasis on originality, OLIAROS has worked with 25 different architects over 20 years, seeking out emerging talent for whom it was either their first project or first Greek project — in order to reimagine the Cycladic vernacular with a fresh eye.

 In 2013, we launched OLIAROS Villa Rentals, which combines exceptional houses — many of which are exclusive — with high end concierge services; as well as Beach House Antiparos in Apantima Bay, as a meeting place and service point for OLIAROS clients and the wider island. The latest addition to the group is M18, a Neoclassical property located inside the Acropolis Museum Gardens.

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.

LEADING ARCHITECTURE

A SELECTED GROUP OF AWARD-WINNING ARCHITECTS

From the very beginning, we invited architects whοm we consider to be talented and relevant today, from Greece and abroad, to design a new Cycladic typology of leisure homes in Antiparos. After twenty years since our first steps on the island, OLIAROS’s project has established Antiparos as a new, international architectural destination.

PRINCIPLES

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

All OLIAROS  projects are adapted to the local environment and are built according to the principles of bioclimatic architecture. The design focuses on a series of strategic solutions such as orientation, cross-ventilation, insulation, use of resources available on site and the collection of rainwater. All these factors enable indoor and outdoor living comfort with a relatively low energy footprint. As technology evolves, OLIAROS aims to produce even more self-sufficient houses, and its new goal is to convert all its properties, both existing and upcoming, to use 100% solar energy.

COMMUNITY MAKING

OLIAROS is devoted to the creation of unique homes  and neighborhoods  that can be experienced as elegant nests, regardless of their scale or location. These neighborhoods, OLIAROS  Masterplans, are generating microenvironments, that develop and thrive as an extended community taking into consideration local characteristics, culture and the landscape. These microenvironments are open and not gated, enabling its inhabitants to experience the homely and immersive feeling of belonging, without loosing their individuality.

 

 

LANDSCAPE

Working with landscaping specialists Doxiadis+ since 2001 and H. Pangalou since 2017, OLIAROS has established a symbiotic way of approaching the Cycladic ecosystem. The development respects the natural landforms of the site, and incorporates them in the strategies used to inhabit the area. Landscape structures and planting design are based on the local vocabulary, respecting the seasonal rhythm offering a variety of colors, shapes and scents.
