Studio Andrew Trotter, in close collaboration with Eva Papadaki of 1OAM apotheke, has transformed a former folklore museum in the heart of Antiparos into a hybrid space where retail and hospitality meet.
Joined by Anastasia Tsourekas (Louisa) and Thanasis Panourias (Bardot), the team has created a setting that flows seamlessly from concept store to café to botanical bar—an island destination grounded in ritual, rhythm, and considered design.
Tucked just steps from the sea, the space moves slowly. Morning begins under the trees with tea and juice. Objects line shelves with quiet intent. Later, conversation gathers at the marble bar. The architecture doesn’t insist—it holds, supports, recedes. Local materials—lime-washed surfaces, handcrafted ceramics, warm wood—create a calm backdrop for everyday gestures. A palette of neutrals allows light and shadow to do most of the work.
Rather than imitate the familiar language of Cycladic minimalism, the interior works in quieter registers. Furniture, designed in collaboration with Theodor Psychoyos, feels both permanent and portable. The store is a scaled evolution of the 1OAM apotheke concept: a place where scent, touch, and composition are central. Nothing is overly defined. Objects can be browsed or ignored. A moment can stretch into hours.
Food and drink here follow the same principles. The menu is seasonal and simple. Coffee from Red Jane, herbal teas blended in-house, fresh juices from what grows nearby. In the evening, the space shifts into a bar offering botanical cocktails and a small, rotating menu—nothing elaborate, but everything precise.
This is not a place to pass through quickly. It invites pause without prescribing how. By day, a slow retail encounter. By night, a shared table and a conversation. The kind of space that speaks not through branding or concept, but through the feeling it leaves behind.
