Apartment Renovation in Voula

Flowing Movement

The renovation of the Voula apartment involved the complete redesign and reconstruction of a two-bedroom residence within a 1988 apartment complex, aiming to accommodate the evolving needs of a growing family.

Design Philosophy

Both the spatial layout and the material expression of the apartment were reinterpreted to create a new environment tailored to the family’s daily rhythms and lifestyle. The boundary between the private areas and the open-plan living–dining–kitchen zone is defined by an elongated, curved walnut surface that introduces a sense of continuous, fluid movement throughout the interior. This sculptural element integrates the kitchen and wardrobe cabinetry, as well as the apartment’s main entrance door. A similar curved structure was designed in the master bedroom, seamlessly incorporating the wardrobe, a bookshelf, and a small work desk.

Material Palette

The bathrooms combine white and black marble, terrazzo, and resin, creating a refined yet tactile contrast. Oak flooring extends across all spaces, complementing the vertical walnut surfaces. In the living room, exposed concrete on the ceiling and central column adds a raw, architectural texture that balances the warmth of the wood.

Custom Structures

The fireplace was reimagined as a composition of a cast concrete bench supporting a metal box that forms the hearth. This central feature extends vertically into high shelving on both sides, emphasizing the interplay between solidity, precision, and material contrast.
