thanos makrynikolas
architect/ founder - art director
Hi, I’m Thanos — founder of Space Dreams Studio.
My architectural journey began at the National Technical University of Athens, where I developed a strong foundation in design, theory, and construction. Eager to expand my horizons, I continued my studies with a Master’s degree in Digital Design at the University of Edinburgh — an experience that deepened my interest in the intersection between architecture, technology, and narrative form.
Over the years, I’ve worked across a wide spectrum of roles: from academic research and teaching, to hands-on work in architectural practices and construction firms. Each of these paths has shaped the way I think, design, and build. I’ve had the opportunity to explore both conceptual and highly practical aspects of architecture — from the scale of the detail to the scale of the city.
Through Space Dreams Studio, I aim to bring all these experiences together into one cohesive practice. It’s a place where architectural storytelling meets technical expertise. A platform for designing spaces that are not only functional and sustainable, but also emotionally resonant — spaces that spark imagination, connect with people’s lives, and carry a sense of dreamlike clarity.
This studio is not just a personal endeavor — it’s a creative laboratory for collaboration, experimentation, and real-world impact. Whether designing homes, public spaces, or objects, my goal is always the same: to transform everyday moments into meaningful experiences through architecture.
