THE BUILDING The six-storey building on 43 Aiolou Street was constructed in 1974 based on a study by the famous Athenian architect Alex. Kalligas, intended for a purely professional use, with large single-story rooms on each floor, which mainly housed offices and commercial activities. The subject our renovation was the change of use and the restoration of the 4th floor, totalling ~ 400.00sqm in 6 smaller apartments. The design was based on the desire to create houses with open floor plans, giving the feeling of larger spaces and avoiding fragmentation of each apartment in small individual rooms. In each apartment we decided to create semi-open "spaces" in the room, which would mark the sleeping space and offer the necessary privacy. These "cubes" are the core concept of the apartments, and around them we develop and shape the other uses of the apartments, such as the living room, the kitchen and the bathrooms. The cubes are freely placed in the space, having in most cases their two sides open, while slightly elevated by the living room. The choice of the intense and different colors we painted the cubes of each apartment was done with emphasis to the notion of space within the space, but also to give a more ephemeral character of accommodation. The floors are painted with epoxy paint in two shades of grey, depending on their elevation, while all carpentry has become white so that it does not compete with the colors of the cubes.
