Nefelia Studio

Nefelia Studio is an Athens-based architecture and design practice founded by architect Nefeli Papanagiotou.

With over two decades of experience across architecture, interiors and design, the studio approaches each project as a distinct response to its context and the people who will inhabit it. Rather than following a predetermined aesthetic, the work develops its own identity through space, proportion, colour, material and detail.

Colour and material are central to the studio’s language, often brought together through contrast and unexpected combinations. Bold and quiet elements coexist; contemporary pieces meet objects from another era; raw materials sit alongside refined surfaces, art and custom-designed elements.

At the core of the practice is an interest in creating spaces with character — expressive but functional, considered without feeling overly composed, and specific to the people and places they belong to.

Nefeli Papanagiotou studied architecture at the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow and Brighton University, where she also completed a Master’s degree in Interior Design.

Her experience spans architecture, interiors, project management and construction, across residential, workplace, hospitality and cultural projects.

Her work has been selected for the Biennale of Young Greek Architects and was included in Greece’s official participation at the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale.
