Peninsula House, Atelier Bow-Wow’s latest collaboration with design-led property developer Oliaros, is a free-flowing, art-filled holiday home on the Greek island of Antiparos
One word keeps coming up when Atelier Bow-Wow’s Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and property developer and entrepreneur Iasson Tsakonas discuss their latest venture: timeless. The project is Peninsula House, Tsakonas’ own holiday home on the small Greek island of Antiparos.
The pool helps cool down a central courtyard space furnished with blue chairs by Martino Gamper and a marble table by ARP. The pool tiles were designed by architects Aires Mateus and produced by Viúva Lamego in Portugal ‘I bought the land in 2006, and selected the Atelier Bow-Wow design in 2008. I had always planned Peninsula to be my future family house.
Peninsula’s design works within Oliaros’ property development approach, prioritising homes that are low-impact and work as part of a larger, well-considered masterplan, ultimately maintaining the island’s identity while converting it into a new architectural destination.
The house comprises two volumes, brought together by a careful composition of outdoor areas with the help of celebrated Athens landscape architecture firm Doxiadis+. There is a serpentine network of terraces, al fresco seating areas, open-air circulation routes and a very important water element in the shape of a long swimming pool that connects the property’s two stone volumes.
The living room features a sculpture by Oscar Tuazon, a bar by Ilias Lefas, a dining table by José Zanine Caldas, a games table by Sergio Rodrigues, and an artwork by Mindy Shapero Inside, the whitewashed walls and light concrete floors are complemented by Tsakonas’ extensive collection of art and design. An avid collector, Tsakonas started purchasing pieces while working in real estate in Azerbaijan.
