Concept Store & Bar 1OAM Apotheke by Studio Andrew Trotter + Eva Papadaki

A New Cultural Destination in Antiparos

The 1OAM Apotheke Concept Store & Bar emerges as a vibrant, multifunctional destination in the heart of Antiparos, seamlessly blending retail, dining, and social experiences. Set within the historic former Folklore Museum of Antiparos, the space serves as a shop, café, and bar, where visitors encounter a curated mix of objects, scents, and flavors.

This project represents a collaborative vision between Studio Andrew Trotter and Eva Papadaki, merging refined contemporary design with the relaxed, natural charm of Greek island living.

Concept and Collaboration

Founder Eva Papadaki, in partnership with entrepreneur Anastasia Tsourekas of Louisa Stores and Thanasis Panourias, owner of Bardot, has developed a scaled-up interpretation of the 1OAM Apotheke concept store. The project extends beyond retail to include a food and beverage experience rooted in mindful living, seasonal ingredients, and elevated simplicity.

Design Philosophy

Situated just steps from the Aegean Sea, the design captures the essence of Antiparos through understated luxury, natural textures, and effortless charm. The space transitions seamlessly from sunlit mornings to vibrant evenings, combining the concept store with a Botanical Bar that celebrates local flavors and seasonal drinks.

The interior draws inspiration from the Cycladic landscape, featuring lime-plastered surfaces, handcrafted ceramics, and warm wood finishes, while maintaining a contemporary, unexpected edge. Custom-designed elements, such as marble furniture by Theodor Psychoyos, soft lighting, and a neutral color palette, blur the lines between indoors and outdoors, creating an inviting environment for exploration and social interaction.

Culinary Experience

The daily rhythm of 1OAM Apotheke begins with morning rituals, offering minimal-waste breakfasts inspired by traditional village simplicity. Visitors enjoy fresh, homemade seasonal dishes, including herbs harvested from the back garden, coffee by Red Jane, teas by 1OAM Apotheke (malotira, dittany, sage), and freshly squeezed juices under the shade of trees.

By evening, the space transforms into a Botanical Bar, presenting carefully curated cocktails and beverages made with wild and native ingredients, complemented by a rotating seasonal menu. The design intentionally blurs the distinction between home, store, and studio, fostering an immersive and multifunctional social experience.

Impact and Significance

1OAM Apotheke Concept Store & Bar sets a new standard for multifunctional spaces in the Greek islands, championing craftsmanship, creativity, and community engagement. Every element—from material selection to spatial layout—is designed to evoke a sense of place, encouraging visitors to explore, connect, and unwind in a unique environment.
