Founder of Aether Gea | Creating a Restoration Hub at the Foot of Mount OlympusI am the founder of Aether Gea — a regenerative restoration hub for women, the living earth, and the generations to come, planned on 6,000 sqm of family land at the foot of Mount Olympus, Greece. The name means "Sky and Earth," and it reflects my core belief: that healing the spirit and restoring the land are one and the same.My vision is not a standard agritourism business. It is a living sanctuary where women can pause (the Sacred Pause), reconnect with themselves, and, for those who are ready, build what comes next. It is also a place for art workshops, regenerative agriculture (polyculture), community gathering and the next generation's first encounter with a living, regenerative building.I am not a developer or a hotelier. I am a woman who grew up harvesting strawberries from my father's fields and who returns to that land every year feeling stronger, clearer, more myself. That land has been waiting. Now, I am ready to build.What I am looking for:I am seeking a design partner — an architect or small studio — who shares my sensibility for organic, fluid, spaces. I want a building without corners, built from local, natural materials (earth, stone, timber, gravel). A structure that feels both ancient and futuristic. A sanctuary that is itself a work of art.The opportunity:This is not a traditional commission. I offer a real site, a clear philosophy, and a commitment to craft. I will actively pursue architectural competitions (Terra Landscape Award, Jacques Rougerie) to give our collaboration visibility and recognition. I believe that a small, meaningful project can change the way people think about building and belonging.If you believe that architecture can be poetry — that it can listen to the wind, honor the earth, and heal the soul — then let us talk.
