Project Overview
–

A sizeable apartment in an esteemed part of the city, Meraki remodelled the entire space to form a spacious living/dining and kitchen area complete with a home office, all flooded with natural light from the balcony that wraps around every room. Two meticulously appointed bedrooms with their own ensuites as well as a third washroom plus an outdoor kitchen, dining and sitting area means the 360-degree view of Athens and its majestic Acropolis are always within eyesight.

Aesthetic Direction
–

Modern living mixed with classic detailing inspired by Athens’ old town give rise to a scheme that feels completely timeless.

Material & Colour Palette
–

Neutral through and through, the primary materials Meraki called upon were oak, Volakas marble and textural sandstone. Layered into these were the lime washed oak parquet flooring that beautifully bounces the abundance of natural light as well as Calcatta Viola marble in the bathrooms.

Noteworthy Features
–

  • Bespoke glass partition doors cast in solid bronze with ribbed detailing that separate the kitchen and utility space from the loving area

  • An outdoor marble kitchen with range-style cooker and secondary wine fridge

“Made the whole renovation process less overwhelming and enjoyable. I have my dream forever home and its all thanks to Meraki.”
