Studiolav brings contemporary industrial feel into minimal loft apartment in Athens

Located in the heart of post-industrial Athens, this loft-inspired apartment was designed by STUDIOLAV to accommodate a smooth live-work scenario with clearly defined private and social areas for a young entrepreneur. Having functionality in mind, while keeping the space connected to its surroundings, the creative team used design elements with abstract industrial references and bright color accents to soften the harder surfaces. The apartment is bathed in natural light coming through the front and back windows, offering unobstructed access from one side to the other.

As the designers describe, “the lower floor is an open plan space, hosting an imposing, social kitchen, a minimal yet cozy dining area, and a spacious, flexible living space. Muted blues, warm greens, and natural oak co-exist in conversation with the concrete-rendered elements in the main living area. The addition of a fireplace feature creates a secondary relaxing, reading corner bringing warmth and coziness to the main living area. The bespoke staircase leading to the upper level works as a focal point with its architectural simplicity and meticulous detailing of its construction. The lower floor is completed with a generous terrace, with discreet lighting features and a concrete-like floor, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation during the warmer months.

On the upper floor, the newly created mezzanine extension added more floor area to the existing footprint of the property which gives a feeling of spaciousness. It hosts a bright and airy home office that enjoys the view of the Athenian urban landscape. Tacked in the back, the generous, luminous en-suite bedroom connects to the hallway adjacent to the office mezzanine via a walk-in wardrobe corridor. The premium feel of the wardrobe is given by the use of materials. Open and closed storage with smoked glass sliding doors laid next to slick walnut finishes. In continuation and while entering the master bedroom, the wardrobe changes materiality to define and separate visually the two areas. Here we see soft hues of mossy green with vignettes of solid oak open storage”.

An en-suite bathroom, accessible both from inside the bedroom and the open office, is visually divided by an off-black palette that sits in juxtaposition with the more playful white terrazzo of the wet room. The full-length double sink and wall-to-wall mirror above it, make the room feel commodious and bright. The glass brick wall welcomes the daylight to enter the wet room and the rest of the bathroom coming from the large windows of the master bedroom. The whole palette of materials complements each other, whilst they emanate a contemporary feel.
