Athens-based Block722 was founded in 2009 by architect Sotiris Tsergas and designer Katja Margaritoglou and takes its name from the ‘urban block 722’ where it is located, a culturally varied area in the heart of the city. The office handles everything from architectural projects to interior design and construction work (through their sister company Block722+). Recent works range from an exhibition stand at Greece’s 100% Hotels fair to a holiday house on the island of Syros. Ongoing projects include a hotel development on the Ionian island of Zakynthos and a striking beachfront residential build, defined by a long pergola, on the south coast of Crete.
