From #TheMakers archives: a look back at @thessy.k's luxurious modern-Greek maison in Brisbane. đź’«
Olive trees, rendered concrete, travertine tiles, and a sparkling infinity pool. You could be forgiven, when stepping inside Thessy Batsinilas’ family home, for thinking you’ve entered a Grecian resort. But no, this is the southside of Brisbane – where the co-founder of Australian fashion juggernaut @saboskirt lives with her husband, Georgio, and their two children, Zani and Jay.
Here, there are all the sensibilities of suburban Australia (freshly cut grass, an enormous trampoline) together with the hallmarks of a “Greek village lifestyle”, too. The couple’s heritage is front and centre in their home, with hints everywhere of Georgio’s upbringing on the island of Kythira.
Though the couple make annual pilgrimages back to their homeland, they always dreamed of living the village lifestyle year-round. So in 2019, in lieu of moving to Greece, they decided to bring Greece to them.
