Apartment Psyhiko

 Phase One: New floor plan For this charming apartment in Psychiko, Athens  I was asked to redesign the living room while maintaining the existing floor plan as much as possible.

Kyano

In the neighbourhood of Pangrati in a residential block originally built in the 60s, we have been asked to renovate a 50sqm 6th-floor apartment with a 20sqm balcony and to redesign it fully. Lea Martin Lea Martin Lea Martin Lea Martin The change in needs and lifestyle over the past decades has highlighted the need for a radical redefinition of the very layout of the space. The necessity of an austere division of the space into several rooms for the sake of compliance with the privacy and introversion of each function of the residence which was prevalent during the decade of the ‘60s, nowadays feels old-fashioned and malfunctioning, especially in such a small apartment that calls for maximization of capacity and fl...
