This is a typical apartment housed in a 1960s Athenian polykatoikia. The apartment was used for the last 30 years as a doctor's office and the tenants now desire to fully renovate it and convert it into a modern lifestyle apartment, for short-term rental.

The floor plan of the apartment is quite complex with diagonal walls. The challenge in this project lies in changing apartment’s use and creating a modern living space, making use of all the spaces, despite the difficult floor plan, with the least possible interventions.

​

The design features one bedroom, a bathroom, while the unification of reception and waiting area created a generous living space, divided into a kitchen, dining room and living room. A sofa bed in the dining area offers a place for occasional sleeping for two people.

Particular emphasis was placed on fixed furniture and fittings, which serve to trick the eye from the slanted walls. A custom-made built-in furniture which functions as a storage space and headboard, has “straighten” the slanted wall in the bedroom.

​

Different colors on the walls have been chosen as to separate the different uses. Plants on the back balcony looking the courtyard, give color and hide the opposite buildings.
