Apartment 58

This 90m² apartment was renovated to house a young couple and is situated on the third floor of a four-story block of flats in a quiet suburban area of Athens. The particular renovation was very demanding since the client requested for an extra workout room and a WC. In order to achieve that, the existing planning layout was redesigned without corridors, an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom and open-plan kitchen to ensure the sense of openness in the living room.
The granite “wood-like” tiles were used throughout the apartment floor to give a sense of continuity between spaces and create a warm base which contrasts with the whiteness of the walls. The suspended plasterboard structure in the kitchen along with the large ceramic marble plates and the cement-like surfaces complement the unique architectural interior design that transformed this apartment into a fully functional modern residence.
The bathroom and WC were designed with particular care to maximize functionality, visual comfort and a sense of enlargement. Hanging cabinets covered with mirrors, cement-like tiles that form sinks and embed linear lighting provide the required result.

Aegean Airport Ticket Office & Lounge

The design of the new ticket office and lounge area of Aegean Airlines in Athens International Airport derived from the desire of the new combined airline to redefine its identity. The selected existing airport structures are opposite from each other and had to be redesigned into a single entity to accommodate the company’s needs and requirements. The aim was to create a form and structure of spaces with particular emphasis on innovation and leadership while being friendly and accessible to the user.
The design approach of the spaces was held by a guiding sense of floating, flight and speed. The dominant design feature is a “ribbon” that simulates a path; a flight starting and ending, while carrying the airline’s identity color. This “ribbon” forms access ramps, and by ascending and descending, like air gaps in a real flight, it creates counters or seats. In some places it penetrates the ceiling as if it disappears into the clouds to appear again holding the company’s logo symbolizing the end of a safe flight.
A floating feeling is achieved by slight elevation of the construction’s floor which is enhanced by the use of hidden lights. The aerodynamic design of the individual components refers to speed, and their ergonomic approach ensures the required comfort for all users including people with disabilities.
The choice of materials and the design of lighting and ceiling contribute to create a modern, comfortable and welcoming space that highlights the innovative company profile and attracts the interest of passengers. The integration of individual technological interactive elements in the design enhances the unique experience of the visitor, denoting the modernized character of the company.

Apartment 44

The apartment was renovated in order to fulfill the needs of a sport-loving couple. The sport equipment incorporation in the design serves as a reference point of the couple’s favorite hobbies, while dealing with their storage issue. Located on the first floor of a 4-storey block of flats, the apartment expands on 80m², while half of it accommodates the living space. Therefore, the need for a space enlargement feeling and functionality dictated the merging of the kitchen with the living room.
Serenity is achieved through the geometrical simplicity of the forms and is enhanced by the careful choice of colors and materials. Granite tiles, which resemble wood, were applied on the apartment floor and combined with underfloor heating provide ideal climate conditions all year round. White lacquered structures and grey tinted walls form a creative interaction of glossy and matte surfaces. The frosted glass used on the bedroom wardrobe doors creates a filter between the clothes and the bedroom space, resulting in a constantly changing frame. In the bathroom, the matte surface of the granite tiles along with the softness of the white homogeneous counter and the linear lighting reinforce the simplicity of the design.
The lighting design highlights the structures’ linear form while its variety and flexibility provides the required atmosphere based on the mood or occasion. All in all, the use of hidden light combined with cantilevered structures creates a floating effect which reinforces a general feeling of relaxation.
