Apartment in Deinokratous

Multiple levels

The project involves reconfiguring a 60m² apartment situated on the second floor of a typical 1960s Athenian apartment building. The layout includes an open-plan kitchen and a living room, a bathroom, and a bedroom.

Layout Organization

The architectural design focuses on creating a studio apartment where spaces are separated by alternating levels. The floor plan is clearly organized: the entrance is located on the lower level, the living room and kitchen occupy the intermediate level, and the bedroom, bathroom, and wardrobe are situated on the uppermost level.

Design Philosophy

The interior design pays careful attention to both the resulting geometries and the selection of materials and textures. Specifically, the geometries complement the existing structure of the Athenian apartment building, preserving the linear, austere style characteristic of that era.

Material Palette

Given the limited natural light in the apartment, materials have been selected to reflect or help natural light penetrate deeper into the space. The floor features a combination of light grey tiles and wood, while the kitchen and living room surfaces are defined by dark wood, creating a striking contrast with the white walls. Black metallic details serve as accents within the space, adding depth and sophistication.
