Eleni Tsigarida – Action24 – The Teloneio

Action24 – with Eleni Tsigarida – Teloneio Kardamyli 

We were excited to watch our founder and lead architect, Eleni Tsigarida, on television today, sharing the story of Teloneion in Kardamyli and how our work there began. Eleni spoke about the first conversations that brought the project to our door, the careful research that followed, and the way we approached restoration with respect for the existing structure and the life it has hosted over time.

She touched on the decisions that shaped the design, from reuse and light to materials and craft, and the collaboration with local makers who helped bring the building back into use with clarity and care. Eleni also reflected on setting up our office in the Mani, and how working close to our sites strengthens relationships with craftspeople, keeps the design process grounded, and lets the landscape and climate guide our choices.
