A former Canadian Embassy in Athens is reimagined as The Modernist, a design-led luxury hotel founded by Kostis Karatzas.
Located in Kolonaki, one of Athens’ most refined districts, this documentary explores how a former diplomatic residence was reinterpreted through modern Greek architecture and thoughtful hospitality. Rather than competing with the city’s historic landmarks, The Modernist folds into the urban fabric, offering a quieter and more deliberate perspective on Athens.
With a background in engineering and design, Karatzas approached the 1960s diplomatic building not as a hospitality project, but as an architectural exercise shaped by ethics and aesthetics. Working alongside FORMrelated and a close network of creative collaborators, the structure was transformed into a hotel where Art Deco references, mid-century details and Scandinavian restraint coexist within its original framework.
Through conversations and spatial observation, this film examines adaptive reuse, architectural restraint and how design-led hotels can shape a deeper understanding of place.
For travellers and design enthusiasts who value authenticity, heritage and considered luxury, this is a study in how history can be translated rather than replicated.
