Studio 265

What Studio 265 does

Studio265 is a Greek architecture and engineering practice founded in 2004 in Athens by a group of architects and civil engineers trained across France, Italy, and the United Kingdom. The firm operates from two offices — a headquarters at 265 Imittou Street in Athens and a regional office in Paros — and focuses on modern residential, hospitality, commercial, and tourism-related construction projects in Greece, with particular specialization in Cycladic vernacular-inspired architecture across the islands of Paros, Antiparos, and Aegina.

The firm's core offering is an integrated one-stop-shop design-to-build service covering architectural design and planning, engineering, construction management, and building works. Its technical differentiation centres on bioclimatic and sustainable design, including energy class A-rated buildings, rainwater collection, grey water reuse, and integration of traditional Cycladic aesthetics with modern construction and energy-efficient systems. The team is led by senior architects and a civil engineer with construction management credentials, supported by associates and a business coordinator.

Studio265 generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, acquired primarily via direct sales, referrals, and the co-founded Property265 realty consulting partnership (established 2019) which channels international investors and Golden Visa clients. The firm serves private residential clients, hotel and hospitality developers, international real estate investors, and commercial/office clients. Marketing is conducted through a bilingual (English/Greek) website, social media (Instagram, Facebook via the Art Space S265 cultural sub-brand), press coverage in architecture publications, and participation in industry events such as Open House Athens. The firm is GDPR-compliant and operates as a privately held Greek entity with no external funding or parent company.
