Oikonomakis Siampakoulis architects is an architecture studio founded by Ilias Oikonomakis and Angelos Siampakoulis based in Athens, Greece, operating within the boundaries of architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, interior design and object design.
The studio's recent and ongoing works include the renovation of a car park in the city center of Athens, two residential complexes in Crete, a series of custom-made objects and furniture, the renovation of three apartments in Athens originally built between 1960 and 1980, the restoration of a small traditional 19th century stone residence in Crete, as well as the renovation and extension of a summer residence in West Attica.
The studio's portfolio also includes participations in European design competitions for public, educational and cultural buildings. In 2023, British construction magazine BUILD awarded the studio the title of "Best Emerging Architecture Office" in Greece and named the studio's parking lot work as the "Most Transformative Ongoing Infrastructure Project" in Athens for that year. Also in 2023, the American media Architizer included the studio at No. 13 in its annual inventory with the "30 best architecture offices in Greece."
