K27 | Apartment Renovation in Athens

Interactive Spaces

The 78m² apartment is located in a building constructed in 1966. To modernize the space and align it with contemporary needs, essential structural repairs were undertaken alongside significant spatial modifications.

Spatial Organisation

The original apartment featured separate spaces for the kitchen, living room, and hallway, along with two bedrooms and a bathroom. The new design integrates the kitchen with the two-bedroom areas, while the transitional hallway is repurposed as the primary space for the dining area. The kitchen and living room now follow a linear layout, creating a harmonious flow as their design elements align seamlessly. A small corridor, painted in a distinctive green colour, connects the bedrooms and bathroom, marking a clear transition from the shared spaces to the private ones.

Material Palette

The mosaic floors, featuring three distinct patterns unique to each space, along with the parquet flooring, were preserved and polished, with marble used to highlight the trace of the removed wall. In order to seamlessly blend old and new materials, the kitchen, positioned prominently in a linear layout opposite the entrance, is painted in a terracotta red shade, harmonizing the diverse range of materials.

Lighting Design

Ceiling fixtures provide the primary lighting for the space, while wall fixtures and hidden lighting offer diffused illumination, allowing for versatile lighting scenarios that create to different atmospheres and moods.
