OAKA Interior Architectural Project | Presidential Suite

ABOUT THE PROJECT

OAKA Interior Architectural Project — Presidential Suite

The Presidential Suite at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens “Spyros Louis” was redesigned as part of a broader vision to modernize Greece’s most iconic sports complex. Located within the country’s largest athletic facility, the suite serves official functions and high-level guests, combining institutional protocol with contemporary design.
The renovation, led by a+architects, transformed the space into a refined environment that reflects modern Greek aesthetics. Embossed walnut wood, carefully selected materials and a restrained palette created a setting that balances elegance with functionality.

Read More

Creative Direction

The project focused on the balance of proportions, the transition between materials and the way surfaces interact with light. The warmth of walnut wood, the clean detailing and the controlled palette define the character of the suite without overpowering it.
The intention was not to dramatize the interior, but to present it in a natural way. The suite stands as a contemporary institutional space,  precise and thoughtfully designed.

Presentation & Context

The renovated suite was officially presented in the presence of Deputy Minister of Sports, highlighting the role of private-sector support in strengthening public infrastructure. The project, realized through the collaboration of nine companies, marks a meaningful step toward the modernization of the Olympic Athletic Center.
Designed to host official events and high-level guests, the suite also contributes to the center’s sustainability by generating additional revenue. The architectural proposal received recognition in an Italian design competition, reinforcing the project’s broader international relevance.

This project is part of our Architectural and Interior projects and was widely covered by press as Site ΟΑΚΑ, Archetype, Οικονομικός Ταχυδρόμος, Πρώτο Θέμα and others.

Culinary Leadership within a Global brand

Callebaut Global 

Narrative Film

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Philippe Marand film

Philippe Marand is a recognised figure in the global pastry and chocolate world. His career has taken him across Europe, the Middle East and beyond, shaping technical education and professional standards within the industry. Fluent in English and Spanish, regularly featured on television and radio, co-author of multiple books, Gold Medal winner of the Charles Proust contest and MOF finalist — his trajectory reflects decades of dedication to craft and transmission.

Read more

Former EEMEA Chocolate Academy Manager within the Barry Callebaut group, he has played a central role in the development of professional chocolate education worldwide. His contribution extends beyond titles — from co-inventing the use of Mycryo cocoa butter in pastry and confectionery to mentoring generations of chefs.

Film Direction & Approach

This chef portrait film was created to reflect not only Philippe Marand’s professional accomplishments, but the character behind them. Rather than adopting a conventional documentary format, the direction focused on presence, composed and authentic.
The film captures moments of reflection, technical focus and personal expression, revealing both the discipline and the passion that define his work. It presents leadership without exaggeration, allowing experience and authority to emerge naturally.

Professional Positioning

The resulting film supports international professional communication and long-term identity representation. It functions as a refined portrait within the global pastry and chocolate sector — positioning Philippe Marand as both educator and craftsman, grounded in tradition and operating on an international stage.

This project belongs to our Film Production services for corporate and hospitality brands, built around human-driven brand communication. It was produced within the wider framework of our collaborations with Callebaut, including productions for the World Chocolate Masters competition and the NXT campaign film.

Callebaut NXT Relay Challenge | Brand Campaign Film

From Creative Concept to Film Production

NXT Chocolate Relay Challenge

NXT Realy Challenge Film

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Callebaut NXT campaign film

This campaign film was commissioned by Callebaut to introduce NXT, its plant-based chocolate developed for professional pastry applications. The production brought together pastry chefs Minette Smith, Philippe Marand, Michalis Karouzos, Michalis Hatzikalimeris, Babis Polykateros and Nektarios Vourikis in a creative relay challenge where each participant received the previous creation and responded with a new interpretation using NXT chocolate.

read more

Production Approach

Rather than presenting the product through conventional demonstrations, the film was structured around a relay format that encouraged experimentation and creativity. Each segment followed a different chef working with NXT, creating a sequence where techniques, textures and flavour ideas evolved from one participant to the next.

Presentation Outcome

The resulting film positions NXT within a professional pastry environment, demonstrating how the chocolate performs across different creative approaches. The project also reflects a production model where narrative format and visual structure are developed alongside filming, allowing the campaign to function both as documentation and as a creative brand asset used across social media to engage pastry professionals and introduce the new product to the market.

This project is part of our Film Productions. Our work with Callebaut also includes the World Chocolate Masters film, documenting the Southeastern Europe semi-final of the international competition.

Island Hospitality Project in Astypalaia | Agnadi

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Island hospitality project in Astypalaia

Agnadi Studios is located in Maltezana, Astypalaia — a quiet part of the island where whitewashed buildings meet the open Aegean horizon. The complex follows traditional island lines: cubic volumes, shaded terraces and simple forms shaped by wind, sun and sea.
The architecture doesn’t compete with the landscape; it belongs to it.

Read more

Production focus

Our approach focused on presenting the renovated spaces as a cohesive environment where traditional island character meets contemporary refinement. Rather than isolating individual rooms, the work highlights material upgrades, clean detailing and the balance between heritage architecture and modern comfort.
Careful framing and light reveal texture, craftsmanship and the quality of finishes, showing how the studios retain their Aegean identity while offering a stylish, updated accommodation experience.

Use & positioning

The final material allows Agnadi Studios to be represented with clarity across booking platforms and online channels. It communicates scale, atmosphere and authenticity — positioning the property as a genuine island stay within the Dodecanese, not simply another seasonal rental.

This project is part of our commissioned hotel photography projects.

Lucozade Energy Drink Campaign Project

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Lucozade energy drink campaign

Lucozade commissioned this campaign through an advertising agency to build a clear association between the brand and athletic performance. The direction focused on real effort — speed, endurance and controlled intensity — placing the product within a disciplined sports environment rather than a generic lifestyle setting.

Read More

Production

The shoot required detailed planning around timing, weather, athlete schedules and location constraints. Capturing movement meant working at high speed, tracking motion and controlling variables under shifting outdoor light.
Athletes were given space to perform at full capacity. Rather than staging static poses, the production followed real action, sprint bursts and impact moments, allowing authenticity to elevate the brand. Product integration was carefully positioned within the action so visibility remained strong without interrupting performance.

Strategic Outcome

The final visuals position Lucozade as a performance-led energy drink grounded in measurable effort. By combining athletic credibility with campaign-level product clarity, the material supports advertising deployment across retail, outdoor, print and digital platforms.
The result communicates endurance, discipline and competitive edge — attributes that transfer directly to the brand.

Part of our product photography projects.

Boutique Cafe Interior Design Project in Karpenisi

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Deployment & Professional Use

The resulting material was developed for architectural presentation, digital presence and brand communication. The visual set maintains consistency across formats, allowing the project to be represented with precision and authority over time.
