One word keeps coming up when Atelier Bow-Wow's Yoshiharu Tsukamoto and property developer and entrepreneur lasson Tsakonas discuss their latest venture: timeless. The project is Peninsula House, Tsakonas' own holiday home on the small Greek island of Antiparos. His company, Oliaros, is already behind a project of 55 new villas set within the rough beauty of the Cycladic island - construction is still underway, with 29 villas already completed, but all are sold apart from two properties that will launch in 2023. The company has made a name for its design-led approach, working with architects such as 98-year-old Greek modernist Nicos Valsamakis, Sou Fujimoto and Bjarke Ingels Group to create houses to be let or sold. However, Peninsula is home to Tsakonas and his family (his wife, Argyro Pouliovali, is the founder of ARP, an emerging Athens studio and Greece's 2022 entry to the Wallpaper* Architects Directory).
'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. When I married Argyro, we checked out all the alternative options from Oliaros' portfolio and agreed to keep Peninsula, making certain adjustments so it would work better for our family. Tsakonas has worked with Atelier Bow-Wow's cofounders Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima before, so they have a particularly smooth and synergetic working relationship.
