That Studio gives an 80s apartment residence a bright and welcoming new look in Ano Petralona

In the heart of Ano Petralona, this 130-square-meter apartment undergoes a remarkable transformation, reimagining a typical ’80s corner building residence. Originally a maisonette of low ceilings and uneven floors, the renovation defies its past, creating a modern haven with a clever use of space. The open layout conquers the challenges posed by the corner structure, resulting in a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen steals the spotlight with vibrant colors, turning it into a lively gathering space. A terracotta-toned floor ties everything together, lending the entire apartment an earthy charm. The entrance cleverly conceals uneven floors, forming a raised “foyer” that doubles as storage. The forward-thinking design extends to the living room, where a redesigned fireplace adds a touch of sophistication with a curved wall projection and glossy tiles. Strategically placed, the bathroom adopts a black-and-white palette for a sleek contrast. The private zone is reimagined for functionality, with the old bathroom space repurposed and storage elements such as closets, a linen closet and a laundry area seamlessly integrating, liberating more space in the bedrooms for uncluttered tranquility.
