Photography via Nikolaou Residence
Nikolaou Residence, on the Greek island of Aegina, was formerly the home and studio of the painter Nikos Nikolaou. Now, with a renovation overseen by Zoumboulakis Architects, it's a serene guest house. “Based on the photographic records and the family’s memories, the idea was to restore the various objects and artworks in their original place and thus reconstruct the atmosphere in which Nikolaou lived.”
“The surrounding space is instrumental in the feeling of serenity that visitors get from the very first moment,” according to the Nikolaou Residence.
The five studio guest houses are tucked within the garden; each has a secluded outdoor sitting area.
The Louisa studio features a sitting area with built-in desk, a kitchenette, and a private terrace.
