Unchanged since it was first built in the 70’s, Aiginitou Street apartment, located in the popular east Athens suburb of Ilisia, was completed remodeled by Do Designers into a practical, inviting and contemporary home, with lots of storage space, custom built furniture and a cozy Scandinavian feel. In redesigning the home, the floor plan was completely changed, moving the kitchen from a dark back corner into a new open plan living and dining space. While the bathroom moved into the kitchen’s previous location, making room for a walk-in closet with full height wardrobes that leads into the adjacent bedroom. The kitchen, now slightly elevated to accommodate the new plumbing, is separated visually through the use of oversized white tiles throughout, with oak flooring leading into the living and dining zones. Here, a built-in floating wooden bench and a round table, doubles as both dining and working space. Storage is maximized in the living room by two custom built metal bookshelves at the entrance and a low unit which seamlessly extends into a floor to an open ceiling shelf.

  2. This is perfect. And this is also the perfect size apartment for 1-2 people. I see some comments that it's not "small enough" but personally I'm not a fan of the trend of trying to squeeze everyone into as small of a space as possible. This IS small compared to millions of houses/flats around the world, people in general live in houses that are far too big with stuff they really don't need. Everyone could be happy as a solo person or a couple living in an apartment like this and it wouldn't feel like much of a sacrifice at all. And on the flip-side everyone also deserves an apartment of this size if they are currently living in something smaller.

  3. OK. Now this design makes perfect sense. Large living area, large fridge, huge walk-in closet and lots of storage. One minor thing I would not install is the kitchen divider. It is not necessary. It makes passing dishes more difficult.

  4. Really love the design of the bathroom and the kitchen, not to mention the whole space just seems comfortable and makes it look large enough. Props to everyone involved in this project!
