ESO2026: “Negotiation, Not Compromise” | The voice of Deplot Architects
13 of May 2026 Megaron The Athens Concert Hall
Deplot Architects is proud to participate in this year’s ESO conference, with our founder, Ourania Pikramenou, taking the stage to share our core philosophy.
Embracing the event’s theme, “Negotiation, Not Compromise”, we will explore how our architectural studio implements the principles of Architectural Empathy. For us, genuine Mediterranean architecture does not compromise. Instead, it continuously negotiates with light, nature, and human needs. Through our luxury residential design and the engineering of flexible buildings, we strive for absolute sustainability and a timeless design that celebrates barefoot living.
Join us as we discuss how sustainable architecture meets emotional spatial purity.
Deplot Architects proudly announces that the San Antonio project has won the prestigious BIG SEE Interior Architecture Awards 2026.
Carved into Santorini’s caldera, this luxury boutique hotel renovation exemplifies Architectural Empathy and soft minimalism. Raw volcanic materiality meets bespoke interior design, redefining the authentic barefoot living hospitality experience. 🏆✨

Bliss Cozy Suites Mykonos 🪬 This Mykonos boutique hotel serves as a paradigm of contemporary Mediterranean
architecture, meticulously blending authentic Cycladic tradition with the highest order of
modern design and luxury. Inspired by the very essence of “Bliss,” designing every detail to evoke this feeling of blissful relaxation in the visitor.
The core design philosophy behind the project was to create a sanctuary of serenity that integrates flawlessly with the island’s wild, yet charming, landscape. This philosophy, a direct
interpretation of the word “Cozy,” informed the architectural design
☀️Hospitality Atmospheres: @deplot_architects Redefine San Antonio in the Thiraic Lands ☀️
Hospitality Atmospheres explores the spatial, material, and sensory qualities that shape experiences of welcome. Through carefully selected projects, the series examines how architecture frames comfort, encounter, and ritual thus revealing hospitality not as a program, but as an atmosphere shaped by light, texture, proportion, and use.
In Imerovigli, Santorini, San Antonio, a five-star boutique hotel carved into the bedrock of the Thiraic landscape, unfolds along the vertical face of the caldera overlooking the Aegean Sea. The renovation by Ourania Pikramenou and Deplot Architects addresses the constraints of the underground construction, proposing a gentle approach that highlights the existing qualities, leaving room for the convergence of architecture, landscape, light, and materiality.

Stepping into a new realm of serenity at Aressana Spa, Santorini. 🤍🪬
Unveiling the latest architectural wellness sanctuary, designed around the philosophy of Mediterranean “barefoot living.” This concept grounds the soul through tactile design and Cycladic heritage. The space flows through hand-plastered arched corridors and sculpted, curved ceilings, mirroring traditional cave dwellings. Notice the organic textures of the natural rock formations framing the sunken grotto pool, and the soft, diffused light that enhances a deep sense of calm in the treatment rooms. Here, architecture is the ritual itself. Experience a holistic approach to wellness, meticulously designed to soothe every sense.

Carved Narrative 🩵
Carved Narrative unfolds across 570 sqm of built space, where four luxury residences, two emerging above ground, two gently embedded within the earth, follow the natural elevation lines of the terrain. The volumes extend horizontally, tracing the contours of the slope as if guided by an invisible script written by the landscape itself. The subterranean homes embrace the cool silence of the mountain, while the above-ground residences open toward the Ionian horizon, dissolving into light, stone, and shadow.
Nothing interrupts the terrain.
Nothing competes with it.
Each residence becomes a chapter.
Each level, a pause.
Each opening, a frame to the sea.
This is not a composition imposed on nature.
It is a narrative carved by it. 🩵🧿

In the heart of Glyfada, this residence captures a contemporary Mediterranean spirit 🤍
Patagonia marble by @iktmarmaronofficial becomes the focal point, bold, sculptural, alive, paired with the refined craftsmanship of @gruppo_cucine and deep matte cabinetry softened by warm wood tones.
Even in an urban home, luxury lies in materiality and intention. Under the principles of slow living, quality is not an option it is the foundation.

Real luxury lives in the details 🤍
Textures are the silent language of architecture: wood, plaster, fabric, light resting on a surface. For us, materials are never just finishes. They are the feeling a space leaves behind. ✨

Above the caldera of Santorini, within the volcanic rock, @san.antonio.suites a 5-star retreat of 30 suites, carved into the cliff at Imerovigli. 🤍🌊
An architecture shaped by stone, light, and silence. Spaces emerging from the landscape, rather than imposed on it. Where the caldera becomes part of the experience. An architecture that listens to place, time, and memory.
Designed as a dialogue between land and light.
