Restored interior of a 1960s apartment in Thiseio, Athens

Our Thiseio Apartment has been featured on Archisearch.gr and in EK Magazine. Both articles look at how a 90 m² flat from the 1960s was adapted for short-term stays while keeping the feel of a home rather than a hotel room.

Both features focus on material continuity. Instead of stripping the apartment back, we restored the original parquet and marble floors from beneath later laminate and made a new palladiana floor from reclaimed marble offcuts, a technique long used in the Athenian polykatoikia.

New work is kept simple: limewashed walls, open wardrobes, microcement bathrooms and kitchen counters, and a built-in bench that serves as both seating and storage. Less visible are the new glazing, insulation and services fitted within the existing structure, which cut operational energy demand by 46% and removed the oil-fired heating. The full articles, with photography by Martha Vosdou, can be read at archisearch.gr and ek-mag.com.
