Entering the house, we designed a wooden Box with multifunctional storage, placed on a Greek marble floor, which refers to the early 30’s Athenian “polykatoikia” luxurious entrances. The creation of a light construction divider in the middle of the apartment smartly separates the public spaces from the rest areas. Shapes on the divider, as the arch and the bricks create a Middle Eastern - Byzantine pattern, which correlates the apartment with the Ottoman building across the street.  

The kitchen balances the modern equipment and design with classic elements. The kitchen divider was created with patterns from old Athenian glass doors that converses with “mashrabiya”, while on the floor selected old fashion cement tiles were used. For the backsplash of the kitchen we used Greek marble shapes. The second bedroom was inspired by the traditional build in furniture with bed, which in Greek is called “sofás”. A unique unit that can turn from bed to sofa and can have a multipurpose storage spaces for the guests. The color pallet was carefully chosen to enhance the openness of the space which smoothly reflects the exterior environment in its own interior.     

The living room consists of two sides with windows lines and views of the Acropolis and the Mpenizelos mansion , across the street. The selected materials and colors work as a frame that highlights the exterior environment and create a modern main lounge, where guests can spend their time relaxing not only in the daytime but also in the night hours, feeling cosmopolitan.
