Project Description
This 150 m2 apartment occupies the third floor and a roof of a building in an Athenian southern suburb. Limited budget refurbishment transformed existing reality into the oneiric domestic realm. Basic aim during the process was to enhance and reveal the main potential of the given condition – natural light flooded space. That was achieved by increasing the size of window openings in all three bathrooms, while creating a visual contact with the outdoor greenery. Slight alteration of already defined spaces was imposed to avoid excessive demolition of divisions.
Two main parallel axes were established. One, that gave a sensuous experiential quality by erasing the boundaries between the private and public, while connecting a communal space to the backyard terrace and a newly created bamboo garden through the large bathroom opening. The other one was a multi-purpose five-meter-long counter of the cooking/dining area that relates to a papyrus/bamboo garden at the streetside terrace. New black aluminum frames were harmoniously juxtaposed to the existing wooden ones. Simple, natural materials in neutral pallet were applied to enhance natural illumination effects.
