Metaxas is best known for being the architect chosen by George Averoff to design and restore the Panathinaiko Stadium for the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens, the birth of the modern Olympic movement.

He also competed at those Games, entering the military and free rifle events. He placed fourth in both competitions, with scores of 1,701 in the military rifle and 1,102 in the free rifle.

He also designed the expansion of the east wing of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
