Famous Greek Architects: Omniview Design

Founders

Dimitri Tsigos

Architect Dimitri Tsigos, one of Omniview’s co-founders, graduated in 2003 from the Architectural Association School of Architecture. He worked first in New York, before returning to Greece in 2005 to start TDC, an architecture firm, with brother John Tsigos. Later in September 2010, he started AFU, a furniture design firm and concept store – again together with his brother John Tsigos. Finally, in September 2014 he co-launched Omniview Design along with his brother, and the team has grown to over 30 employees today.

John Tsigos

John Tsigos graduated from the National Technical University of Athens’s School of Architecture and then worked as an architect and construction manager in urban city housing projects (1999-2005). As part of TDC, an architecture and urban development firm which he founded with his brother in 2005, he had the role of construction manager and financial operator. With the Omniview team, John hopes to grow internationally and become one of the leading firms in design services and sales.

Flagship Project - One Kleomenous

This structure is definitely the most significant work of Omniview, and it is unique when compared to the surrounding neighborhood of Lycabettus Hill in the Kolonaki neighborhood, where there are almost exclusively tall apartment blocks. One Kleomenous is a single-family house that was Omniview’s first and flagship project of the company since the 2008 crisis. Tsigos is unique for his use of advanced computer-aided architectural design, and it was a unique challenge for him to design the One Kleomenous. The building mixes traditional building materials, like wood and marble, with modern construction methods. Some of the techniques Omniview used in the design are also found in naval design and yacht interiors.


One Kleomenous is a residential building with eleven floors, so the building is tall and slim. It is found high on top of the hill, so the terrace comes with views that let you see the Acropolis hill and the Piraeus coast. One of the unique features of the home is a shiny, polished steel curved staircase that goes down to the dining and living rooms. The two floors below ground have the couple’s master bedroom suite and the three children’s rooms. The other lower floors have service areas, a garage, and storage.
