This meticulously renovated penthouse in Ambelokipi, Athens, is the brainchild of Sophia Emfietzoglou Architect architectural firm. Spanning 100 square meters with a sprawling 50 square meter terrace, the apartment caters to a client who prioritizes easy access to key points of interest during visits to the city.
Originally built in the 1970s, the corner block of flats boasted a unique Athenian urban character with its white marble facade. The renovation reimagined the space for modern living, encompassing everything from property selection and surveying to interior and exterior design, construction supervision, furniture and lighting selection, and even the curation of outdoor plants.
The aesthetic approach here is a beautiful balance of minimalism and modern touches. A neutral color palette of dominant whites and earthy tones creates a calming and elegant atmosphere. Clean, minimalist lines with subtle curves, along with a thoughtful selection of materials like wood, metal, and marble, elevate the space with a sense of luxury and timelessness.
Taking the client’s needs as a starting point, the design team crafted a bright and airy space with contemporary references. The open-plan living and dining area exudes a fresh and sophisticated feel, with furniture arranged to maximize the flow of natural light.
The kitchen embodies the minimalist philosophy with white cabinets and modern appliances, prioritizing both functionality and aesthetics. Both bathrooms were fully modernized with high-end materials and fixtures, ensuring a luxurious and comfortable experience.
The two bedrooms follow the same design philosophy as the rest of the apartment. The focus is on creating tasteful and functional spaces that promote peace and comfort through a minimalist approach. Neutral tones complemented by black accents and earthy flooring create a sense of harmony and relaxation, perfectly complementing the white aesthetic.
The lighting fixtures were meticulously chosen to bathe the apartment in an elegant white glow, while their modern design becomes an integral part of the overall aesthetic.
The real showstopper, however, is the expansive 50 square meter terrace. Featuring a retractable pergola awning, white marble finishes, and modern outdoor furniture, it creates a welcoming and private environment for taking in the view. Carefully selected plants add a touch of vitality and enhance the connection to nature.
The end result of this Ambelokipi penthouse renovation is a space that seamlessly blends minimal elegance with modern functionality. Every detail, from the meticulous selection of materials and colors to the personalized real estate and renovation services, was chosen to create a tranquil and harmonious haven for the new resident.
