This project was about converting a previously renovated workspace into a dwelling.
Built in the late ‘60s at the center of Thessaloniki, the new apartment was re-designed
to provide a modern look in a more flexible, open layout.
We chose to reveal some of its original brutalist architectural elements -such as
the raw concrete columns- and aimed to create a uniform, peaceful interior setting,
with the use of natural materials, in a muted color palette, composed of neutrals,
white and small black accents.
