In the heart of Kifisia, a 1960s apartment underwent a full renovation and spatial redesign to become a modern, functional home for a couple living abroad, their private retreat when returning to Greece. The concept centered on timeless comfort and subtle elegance, integrating smart home technology with refined materials. Herringbone oak flooring in dark tones pairs harmoniously with marble surfaces, lending texture, contrast, and a sense of permanence. Designed to be effortlessly livable from afar, the space breathes light and calm. Clean lines, warm finishes, and minimal styling reflect a thoughtful balance between classic structure and contemporary flow. It is a quiet homage to Athenian elegance — warm, efficient, and ready to welcome its owners home.
