METS LOFT

The apartment is developed on two levels, the ground level and a newly created mezzanine. Instead of the typical division of rooms for kitchen, dining and living, the ground floor’s functions are flexible and look towards each other, generating the feeling of a continuous linear space. When the rear façade’s large windows are open, this interior space expands toward the backyard becoming one, making the most of Athens’ year-round mild climate. The most central element is the double sculptural staircase leading to the master bedroom and guestroom, each one equipped with its own bathroom.

The clients’ desire was to have an escape that combines contemporary minimalism, refined urban living and comfiness. Adopting the morphological elements of Japanese aesthetics, our studio managed to create a semi-obscure refuge that protects you from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life; the combination of rough and authentic materials, clear, pure lines and the luxury of a private backyard, creates a hidden oasis, a home away from home. Natural-feel materials and carefully selected furniture create a serene environment and an ambience with a glow of warmth that calms down the senses.
