Vibrant, Fun and Inspired by the 60’s: Luscious Apartment in Greece

The historic and beautiful port city of Thessaloniki is a perfect place to relax, rest and rejuvenate and has been popular with tourists forever now. It is in this lovely port city that one finds the exquisite and exuberant Luscious Apartment – a secondary home that is as gorgeous and delightful as its name suggests. The apartment was designed by the creative folk at Urban Soul Project for a family that spend most of their time outside the city and only use it occasionally. This allowed for a more innovative interior where brilliant blocks of color end up stealing the spotlight.

Brilliant pop of green, pink and golden yellow create a stunning and playful apartment interior








Interior of this beautiful apartment seems to be undoubtedly inspired by the spirit of the 60’s and 70’s and you can see that in the fun use of bold greens and pretty pinks for the backdrop. Every room of the home embraces pops of bright color some form even while there are sections of neutral spaces clad in gray and white to create an overall balance. Another impressive and unique feature of the home is the wonderful presence of metal arches and entire walls covered in wooden cabinets that make a daring visual statement.

One gets the feeling of entering an entirely different world when you step in here and it almost seems like someone has turned back the clock by a good six decades or so! A space-savvy kitchen, long corridors that lead to different bedrooms and bathrooms and a dashing lounge along with dining space complete this exciting apartment. [Photography: Kimberley Powell]

  • PDC House

    The design strategy of this house is based on a commitment to artisanal constructive honesty, the respect towards natural context in an urban area, and the constant search for a way of inhabiting where material austerity provides spatial quality. The main body of the house is located in the southern boundary of the land, respecting the 3 preexisting fruit trees on the north side and taking advantage of the best ventilation and natural light possible. The program, which includes 2 bedrooms, social area, a family room and services, is condensed in a monolithic block to reduce its footprint. As a main strategy, the upper roof tilts 21 degrees, prioritizing the northern bedroom spaces and reducing the southern service spaces. The subtraction and rotation of a middle segment generates a shift in between the upper floor bedrooms, allowing cross ventilation, as well as the accommodation of rooftop equipment and the plumbing and electrical ducting. In section, the composition allows the circulation of north-south winds, cooling the kitchen by the hot air escape achieved through height differences. The constructive solution contemplates material honesty in all the elements. The concrete walls on ground floor, pured with recycled formwork, give an imperfect finish consistent with the roof’s austerity, but contrasted with the cleanliness and volumetric continuity of the upper floor finish. To reduce economic impact, ceiling and floor finishings and tilings were completely eliminated using bare concrete floors and, in order to express the constructive and structural performance, the roofs use a system of bare concrete joists in combination with vaulted pieces, designed and manufactured using a mold made with local artisan blacksmithing.
