Architectural Projects / Private Residence in Palaio Psychiko,Athens

This private residence in Psychiko, an affluent suburb of Athens, was designed for maximum freedom of movement and flexibility. The house is divided into four floors. Our client decided to renovate and expand the kitchen area in order to introduce a different character to the typical decorative features of the neoclassical exterior.The idea is to create a series of surprises playing with light and scale, the design exploits the tension between conflicting elements - transparency, intimacy and openness. Glazed partitions, maybe skylights, and slatted blinds allow natural light to penetrate the open-plan kitchen space. Located on the first floor, the living space overlooks to an intimate garden that opens up and creates a relaxing enviroment to be.
