Burger Restaurant in Antiparos Island
Located on one of the main pedestrian streets of Antiparos Chora, this small, ground-floor, single-space burger restaurant was renovated with respect for the simplicity and gentle character of Cycladic vernacular architecture. The shell remains clean and minimal, with the dominant Cycladic color palette — white and light blue — while small, almost narrative artistic interventions enhance the handcrafted quality of the space. A hand-painted blue arch acts as a subtle point of reference, bridging the everyday with the symbolic. Across both interior and exterior, a warm terracotta tone unfolds like a continuous, welcoming carpet that flows seamlessly throughout the project. It begins at the floor, extends into the restaurant’s courtyard — where seating and outdoor counters are arranged — and returns indoors, gently climbing the walls on either side of the façade as well as the interior counter. Within the Cycladic context, this outdoor area naturally merges with the public realm, the pedestrian street, softening the boundaries between inside and outside. The same color embraces the wooden ceiling beams, highlighting the structure of the small single-space layout and reinforcing its spatial unity. This chromatic flow acts as a connective tissue, unifying private and public space into one continuous experience.
Against this calm backdrop, movable furniture and details in yellow and orange tones introduce vibrancy and light, subtly referencing the three colors of the brand’s logo. Handmade ceramic tiles with traditional patterns play a central role in the spatial narrative, drawing clear references to the Mediterranean heritage of Portugal and southern Europe. Their now-established vintage character adds timelessness and a sense of cultural memory, bringing into the interior a warmer, more extroverted southern atmosphere that balances the restrained Cycladic clarity. The result is a simple Cycladic “container” with Mediterranean references: two traditions — southern Europe and the Cyclades — meet in their most everyday and familiar expression. A modest wooden pergola completes the composition, connecting the space to the street and the rhythm of the island, creating a small, welcoming environment that invites visitors to pause and taste its creations.
Σε έναν από τους βασικούς πεζόδρομους της Χώρας Αντιπάρου, ένα μικρό ισόγειο Burger Restaurant ανακαινίστηκε με σεβασμό στη λιτότητα της κυκλαδίτικης λαϊκής αρχιτεκτονικής.
Η παλέτα του λευκού και του γαλάζιου πλαισιώνεται από ένα θερμό κεραμιδί χρώμα που ρέει από το εσωτερικό προς την αυλή και τα εξωτερικά πάσο, ενοποιώντας ιδιωτικό και δημόσιο χώρο. Μια ζωγραφισμένη γαλάζια καμάρα και χειροποίητα κεραμικά πλακάκια παλαιών μοτίβων, με αναφορές στην πορτογαλική και μεσογειακή παράδοση, προσδίδουν βάθος και μνήμη. Διακριτικές χρωματικές νότες από το λογότυπο και μια λιτή ξύλινη πέργκολα ολοκληρώνουν έναν μικρό, οικείο χώρο που σε καλεί να σταθείς και να γευτείς.
