This work is about the renovation of a 70 sqm second floor apartment in the Lycabettus area, at the city center of
Athens.
The owner wanted to merge the south
and bright bedroom with the living room, while ensuring that this space
could be isolated when hosting guests. She also desired to preserve the
apartment’s 70s features (wooden
parquet and skirting boards, woodenshutters, Dionysos marble, terrazzo
floor in balconies) and frame them with more vibrant choices.
We suggested an open-plan layout with the aim of allowing as much natural light as possible into the space.
To organize the unified space, we emphasized on the transitional areas by choosing vibrant colors and
textures, treated the kitchen as another piece of furniture, and
designed metal partitions/doors to serve different living scenarios.
