Greek Australians Thessy and Georgio Batsinilas, the esteemed power couple behind the fashion label Sabo Skirt and the online fitness business FitazFk, have achieved their dream of building a Greek-inspired paradise in Brisbane's southern region.
Purchasing the Holland Park West property through auction in 2019 for $1.14 million, the couple decided to raze the existing house to create their ultimate vision. The magnificent dwelling, christened "Grece," now stands on the elevated 600 sq m block, offering breathtaking city views and nestled in one of the suburb's most prestigious streets.
Designed by Esat Design and masterfully constructed by Batspac, the modern Mediterranean-style home exudes elegance and flair. Boasting sleek curves, dramatic archways, and a harmonious blend of rustic timber and white render, the residence exudes a timeless charm. Abundant natural light filters through the open spaces, infusing the home with a warm and welcoming ambiance.
Throughout the construction process, Thessy K, also known as Thessy Batsinilas, shared her journey on social media, providing fans with a glimpse into the creation of their dream abode. The property's strategic location, right next door to Thessy's best friend and sister-in-law, Yiota Kouzoukas, co-owner of Sabo Skirt, adds a unique touch of closeness and community.
The heart of the home revolves around a delightful courtyard, adorned with cobblestone pavements and centered around an ancient olive tree, accentuated by graceful arches that create a captivating textural aesthetic. Minimalist and contemporary living spaces envelope the courtyard, providing a perfect balance of style and functionality.
An outdoor entertaining area acts as a striking 'social amphitheater,' featuring layered, monolithic steps for guests to gather and relish the surroundings. The residence also boasts a stunning green mosaic-tiled pool, a statement entrance tunnel, and a dedicated 'wellness center' complete with a sauna and a cold plunge pool, ensuring the ultimate indulgence in comfort and relaxation.
As Sabo Skirt's co-founder, Thessy Batsinilas envisions her fashion creations gracing the elegant spaces of Grece, providing a picturesque backdrop for numerous photo shoots. With its exquisite design and scenic setting, the Batsinilas' Greek-inspired dream home has become a true masterpiece, a testament to their refined taste and relentless pursuit of perfection. The couple eagerly anticipates moving into their dream abode in September, following a trip to their beloved Greece.
