The Story
Founded in Athens by Maria Faké, Faké Architecture & Design challenges the boundaries between structure and illusion, exploring the relationship between space, perception and emotion.
Our philosophy is rooted in 'Meaningful Value'—essence over ephemeral trends. We draw inspiration from Greek architectural heritage, reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens. Each project receives direct creative involvement from concept to final experience.
We don't just build; we curate atmospheres. Focusing on light and shadow, materiality and human scale, we create environments that influence how we live and feel. From private residences to commercial spaces, hospitality venues and cultural environments, each design is crafted to be experienced, not just seen.
Our work is defined by material honesty and attention to detail.
Our Philosophy
Tactility
We prioritize materials that age gracefully—stone, marble, raw concrete. Surfaces that invite touch and tell a story over time.
Light
Light is our primary building material. We sculpt it to create volume, depth, and emotion within every space we design.
Context
Every project is a dialogue with its environment. We honor the history of Athens while projecting its future.
