VOID

In the area of Ampelokipi, on the second floor of an apartment building on Sevastopouleos Street, a typical 52 square meter apartment from the 1970s is being renovated with the goal of creating a modern apartment while retaining reference elements from its original features.

The layout is being redesigned to functionally connect the kitchen, dining area, and living room. The strict boundaries of the walls are replaced by a partition that runs through the interior of the apartment, facilitating the functional synergy of the two spaces. This allows greater penetration of natural light into the previously strictly defined and dark apartment. The pronounced curvature present in the interior, due to the shared staircase and arches, creates the need for continuity and integration of a design language that focuses on and enhances the use of curved lines.

In the apartment, white shades were chosen as a canvas for a color palette of blues, greens, and pinks. Marble and wood, hard and soft materials, alternate in the space. The wooden floors and parts of the old mosaic were preserved, showcasing the building's aesthetics, while new ceramics were selected that maintain the style of the mosaics and contribute, in their own way, an interpretation of the old to the present. The original interior doors with glass panels, as well as the wooden shutters, were preserved and reused. The kitchen area is clad in marble in harmonious green and pink shades that complement the prominent Tinos marble mosaic in the space
