About

Tsolka Architects is a creative architecture and construction practice based in Vouliagmeni, Athens.
Our team—comprising architects, interior designers, civil engineers, and dedicated specialists—approaches every project with intuition, creativity, and a deep understanding of the built environment. We work across multiple fields, exploring the full spectrum of contemporary design.

Founded in 1988 by Nikos Tsolkas, the practice initially focused on residential real estate development in the wider Athens area. Early on, our attention shifted naturally toward the southern suburbs and the Athenian coastline—an area with exceptional qualities and untapped potential. Since 1995, we have been deeply immersed in this niche market, anticipating trends and pioneering environmentally efficient construction methods that generate long-term value for both clients and the wider community.

In 2015, Marialena Tsolka established the architectural practice as it operates today, continuing the family’s vertically integrated approach with in-house design and decades of practical experience. Over time, we have built a distinctive portfolio that spans a wide range of scales and programmatic needs.

At the heart of our work lies a commitment to rigorous detail, continuous research, and the pursuit of what many consider impossible—crafting virtuoso compositions of line and form. Our design principles are rooted in the classical foundations of modernism, enriched by the dynamism, material innovation, and fluidity offered by contemporary construction. We approach every project with an artistic sensibility, driven by the belief that architectural beauty is born from an emotive and personal dialogue with space.

Our architecture is conceived in harmony with natural elements and context. Each project responds to its surroundings, acknowledging that every new building becomes part of a larger urban and ecological continuum. For interior environments, we craft spatial narratives using our own design language, demonstrating deep expertise in both traditional and modern materials. Furniture, finishes, and lighting systems are tailor-made or specified in-house, ensuring coherence and refinement throughout.

We design and build to the highest environmental standards, maintaining a reduced carbon footprint across all phases of construction. Through ongoing research into smart technologies, we optimize energy use, reduce emissions, and move toward complete energy self-sufficiency.

At Tsolka Architects, we challenge assumptions about what contemporary architecture can be—working closely with clients and specialized collaborators to create a bespoke architectural journey, from concept to completion.
