Article source: Point Supreme Architects Nadja consists of two apartments on subsequent floors that were renovated and connected with a stair in the middle.The two levels are materialized as opposite spatial experiences. The lower level is a continuous, marine-like environment with big pieces of furniture anchoring the family’s communal activities like floating islands. Instead of the typical division of rooms for kitchen, dining, living and playing, spaces in Nadja are flexible and look towards each other.  Image Courtesy © Yannis Drakoulidis

It is a miniature piece of architecture in itself providing a focal point within the large open plan.

The bedrooms are designed as combinations of two complementary types of spaces, a more social area and a more intimate, private zone. This level is rich in graphic treatment that complements the architecture, at times inspired by Greek island architecture.

They continuously supported and further challenged the architecture, therefore achieving an extremely rich and satisfying result. The project was built in collaboration with KN Group constructions.
