#999 Old Psychiko

Apartment Renovation in Palaio Psychiko, Athens

Nestled in the leafy suburb of P.Psychiko, this ground-floor apartment—originally built and designed in the 1970s by the renowned architect Antonakakis—is a discreet yet striking transformation that unfolds across three subtly tiered levels. The renovation respects the building’s original character while infusing it with a quiet, contemporary warmth.

A key element of the design lies in the tactile quality of the surfaces. The walls, finished in a breathable, natural-textured plaster, soften the light and give the space a calm, earthy atmosphere. Every detail is crafted with intention—from the custom-forged door knobs to the finely detailed staircase railing—inviting touch and reinforcing the sense of craftsmanship.

The material palette balances elegance with restraint. Cool, veined marble converses effortlessly with warm oak wood, creating a rhythm that is both refined and understated. Lacquered wood cabinetry in the kitchen and bedrooms—finished in harmonious, muted tones—adds a subtle layer of colour and polish, blending seamlessly into the overall composition. This interplay of textures and tones brings a quiet sophistication to the home, where tradition and modernity coexist with ease.
