I recently completed a restaurant project near the beautiful Palmeira Square in Hove. My clients were businessman Kyriakos Baxevanis and chef Alex Tsimos have dreamt of creating this modern Greek cuisine restaurant for ten years. I have worked on previous business concepts for Kyriakos in the past and I really didn’t want to let them down with the concept. Between us, we created Nostos and it’s been really popular since opening this Summer. The clients were very open to incorporating animal-friendly, human-friendly and planet-friendly specifications. This was an easy process of presenting alternatives to finishes traditionally used and was done easily without adding cost.
