Penny Batalia revitalizes 1930s apartment of surprises in Athens

Architect Penny Batalia has revived a 1930s ground-floor apartment in Athens, merging with its vibrant surroundings while offering an oasis of serenity within. With minimalist white interiors, the apartment exudes tranquility. The layout is straightforward yet spacious, with the living and dining area at its core. Natural light floods in through a grand internal window, connecting the kitchen, patio and living room seamlessly. Restored high ceilings add to the airy feel, complemented by custom white furnishings and warm wooden floors, creating an elegant yet understated aesthetic.
