Composition of levels

The residence, which was originally built in 1976 in Glyfada bears the characteristics of the modern movement of
that period with emphasis on horizontality and large openings. It was radically renovated to meet modern needs.
The residence is expanding in three distinct levels which are connected by split level logic and organize the facet
accordingly. Their meeting point at the entrance is indicated by a vertical element clad in black Argos marble.
The new internal organization is generally retained in relation to the original, while visually releasing the
connection between the three levels.
The entrance is on the middle level, where the main seating area and the bar are also located, being at the same
time the point of general overview of the other two levels.
On the lower level the dining room, the kitchen and the guest room are located, areas with access to the garden.
The upper level hosts the office, which is open to the living area, while behind it are the bedrooms. The staircase
connecting the levels was redesigned with an emphasis on metallic details and is flanked by a wooden handrail.
The 70s style gave inspiration to the choice of interior materials and finishes, but also was the reason for the
preservation and enhancement of existing elements, such as the wooden sliding shutters, which were restored.
The wooden floors were preserved, while materials with a strong character, such as marble, can be found in
almost every room of the house.
The bar, which is the first feature to be seen when entering, is constructed with a combination of bronze, black
marble of Argos and Calacatta Gold marble, while the showcases are lined with ribbed crystal. The wooden
structures in the living room are made of oak in a natural shade to balance the overall feeling.
The round table in the dining area is chosen to have a Portoro marble surface.
Marbles in deep shades of green and blue are used for the bathrooms.
The residence is extending to the roof, with external access. A bioclimatic pergola creates a shading area
depending on weather conditions, while the scene is completed with the outdoor kitchen and dining area, as well
as a Jacuzzi corner.
