The renovation of this apartment in Psychiko takes place in a 1970s residential block, designed in the spirit of modernist Athenian architecture. The new owners—a couple passionate about art and entertaining—envisioned a home that reflects their lifestyle: open, welcoming, and adaptable.
The existing floor plan, generous in proportions, required only minimal changes to accommodate their needs. The living areas remain bright and white, defined by wooden floors and a few carefully selected pieces. Key elements include the fireplace with handcrafted ceramic tiles, the monastery-style dining table, and a large library. Both the living and dining spaces also serve as exhibition areas for the couple’s art collection, turning the home into a place of living as well as cultural experience.
Bright white spaces with wooden floors are highlighted by distinctive features such as a fireplace with handcrafted tiles, a library, and a monastery-style dining table, while the living and dining areas also serve as exhibition spaces for their art collection.
Natural tones and materials define the bedrooms, contrasted by the playful luxury of the bathrooms.
