Barault architects introduce a fusion of Scandinavian design, contemporary materiality and texture palette in order to redefine completely the interiors of a flat, located at the center of Athens. The intense focus in detailing and the bold choice of materials and textures become the cornerstone of the synthetic process. The neutral surface colours, combined with the light oak flooring, create the ideal background for the breathtaking views and the carefully selected signature furniture items to become the calm protagonist of the scenery. The timeless austere aesthetic of Scandinavian design, along with mid-century modern items, are enriched through the use of several materials such as walnut veneers, a collection of Greek marbles, and the selective use of colors in several elements, such as radiators, tiling and woodwork finishes. Custom made steel framed partitions separate the various living spaces. In the entrance hall, the sharp contrast of the Tinos marble flooring, combined with the «L» shaped walnut false ceiling and the dominant steel frame pivot window, create an interesting and welcoming ambience.

In the open-plan living area, the walnut reading nest by the large opening, the Muuto design sofa, as well as the two retro Easy chairs, by Grete Jalk, integrate into a relaxing whole. The iconic tulip table and the wishbone chairs, lighted by the Modo chandelier, define the dining zone. In the study, the two long plywood bookcases provide ample of space for the couple’s passion for books. In the meantime, at the main bedroom, neutral tones and the absence of sharp contrasts provide an atmosphere of serenity to the couple. In the bathroom and the WC, Greek marble surfaces blend in with colorful wall tiling punctured by black fittings, while veneered  elements provide a balancing warm tone. In the kitchen, Skyros marble surfaces mix and match with custom made olive green cabinets, walnut veneered open shelves and brass finishes.
