Duplex apartment in Thessaloniki
Kalamaria, Thessaloniki, Greece
100m²
Completed in October 2018

The duplex apartment occupies the top two floors of a typical 70s residential building in Kalamaria, Thessaloniki and has been renovated according to the needs of the clients – a young couple from abroad. The basic organization of the floorplan has been maintained almost at its original state, with minor modifications. On the lower floor, apart from the living room and kitchen, there is the master bedroom, a small guest house and the main bathroom. Going upstairs, the interior staircase leads directly to the owner’s home office. Next to the stairs there is a small toilet serving upstairs and in the background, a small kitchen and a storage room.

Clients were clear and determined in regard with the aesthetic approach they would want from the architects to follow. The preferable style by the young couple can be described as a mix and match between industrial materials and minimal design, combined with some classical and elaborate decorative elements, furniture or patterns. In respect to the color palette, their urge was towards a “dark” and cozy ambience.
