314 Architecture Studio sculpts fluid facade for dessert shop<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a lively corner of Psyrri, one of Athens\u2019<\/strong><\/a> most characterful and fast-changing neighborhoods, 314 Architecture Studio<\/strong><\/a> introduces EteroLukumas, a compact dessert shop<\/strong><\/a> that feels more like a sculptural installation than a typical storefront<\/strong><\/a>. Just 20 square meters<\/strong><\/a> in size, the space serves Greek donuts, known as \u2018loukoumades\u2019 and ice cream behind a facade lined with ceramic<\/strong><\/a> tiles.<\/p>\n

The shop sits in a spot that\u2019s tucked away and highly visible at the same time. Rather than competing with the noise and texture of the area, a mix of small shops, bars, workshops, and pedestrian routes, the Athens-based<\/strong><\/a> architects introduce soft, curved forms that feel calming. Materials were chosen with care and memory in mind. The ceramic tiles, for example, echo those found in many Athenian homes from the 1950s and \u201960s. That nod to the past is intentional, a way of quietly honoring the city\u2019s built heritage, especially the handmade details that are becoming rarer in new construction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

314 Architecture Studio draws loosely from the flowing lines of Art Nouveau as a starting point for shaping the space. Inside, there are no hard corners or partitions, with a central column blending into the ceiling and walls, creating a fluid surface that feels carved. From the street, EteroLukumas\u2018 openings are shaped in such a way that they invite people in without fully revealing the interior.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This small project puts emphasis on mood, texture, and atmosphere over big gestures, offering a soft counterpoint to the city\u2019s usual intensity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
