the axis between the private rooms and the more communal space, was the main focus in the design process — a bilateral bespoke unit made of birch wood and colored steel, acts both as a division between the spaces, as well as a wide storage solution. the bedrooms along with the extra bathroom are all concealed behind the façade of the unit, creating a clean and continuous look. the opposite side of this composition consists of a spacious wardrobe for the master bedroom.

the two large columns in the main area are exposed to provide an honest and coherent feel of materiality. the kitchen was partly left as it was, with some minor intervention and adjustments to the new tenants’ needs and personal style. in both bathrooms, as well as the kitchen, ceramic square tiles in white and pale pink add a timeless yet contemporary touch that echoes the color scheme of the apartment. the clean and distinct design of the apartment aims to complement the eclectic atmosphere of this mediterranean home.
