About me
VOULA TRIANTAFYLLOPOULOU
I was born in Athens in the mid-70s and most of my earliest memories have to do with hospitality, care, and grooming. I remember the tables my mother organized every year to celebrate my father’s name with relatives and friends. More than fifty people at our house to wish, preparation of food and sweets days before, setting the tables with good tableware, extra chairs so that everyone can sit comfortably…
Even the Easter and summer holidays at the grandparents with everyone’s houses always open at all hours…ten brothers my father, three brothers my mother and first cousins lost in count…a vivid and cherished memory of the great aunt stirring slowly in a huge copper ladle the chicken soup with egg-lemon and her sister syruping the tin with the hot sponge yellow from the many fresh village eggs… and all together again around a big table, uncles and cousins, to bake, to raise our glasses cheers, shout, laugh…
In addition, our house is almost always full of relatives who came from the village to do their business in the capital…
And of course, the years of my hotel studies where hospitality became a science for me…
and I loved this indusrty even more…
and just like that, after being in several hotels, a marriage and 3 children, I decided to create IKIES 3 and accommodate all my great loves: the disposition to care and my passion for architecture and design with hope that I will be able to share these loves with you.
