A tiny flat in Alimos, Athens by Federica Scalise

Locally known as ‘δώμα’, small rooftop flats are characteristic of the Athenian landscape. It is also the case for this 23sqm studio on the coast of Alimos, remodelled to create a micro-apartment focusing on optimising all the available space.

The new custom kitchen, integrated into the living room, comes with a shelving system, to create a multifunctional wall that conceals the new built-in bedroom; here, the platform bed is complete with hidden storage and drawers.

In the living area, the space is defined by a custom pine furniture that allows extra storage and works as a dining bench as well as a chaise lounge. Original materials as the wooden floor and concrete beams are brought back on surface and integrated with the new additions.

Federica Scalise is an Italian architect & illustrator based in Athens. After her master in Architecture in Venice, she now works between the fields of interior design, renovation projects and illustrations.
