The 80 sq.m. apartment in located in an old residential building in Kolonaki. It was redesigned for a couple and their four children. We had limited space and only two bedrooms so we used it to the maximum.
The client wanted to preserve the most of the old apartment essence. We decided to refurbish the old wooden floor and integrate gypsum details on the walls with a fresh approach, so we used white colour on the walls, minimal furniture and large marble ceramic tiles.
The kitchen is separated from the living and dining but still open. Next to it is the main bathroom that works as well as a WC. We didn’t like the idea of having its door visible from the living area and we made a hidden door between two cabinets that are used for the washing machine and storage area.
To maximize space in the couple’s master bedroom we made a marble basin cabinet that is also used as a vanity desk separated from the shower and toilet.
The children’s bedroom has three bank beds and a sliding one because of a concrete element that we had to hide on the one side. Every bank bed has its own night light and small selves for reading before bedtime.
