This project involved the renovation of a three-story maisonette with a a garden and a pool in the southern suburbs of Athens. The new owner wished to redesign the interior spaces in order to create an aesthetic of architectural clarity and succinctness. The main decorative colour is white, producing not only luminosity, but also creating a relaxing atmosphere. All pieces of furniture were designed in order to satisfy the owner’s modern lifestyle, producing a comfortable and functional living space.

Placebo pharmacy in Glyfada, Greece by Konstantinos Labrinopoulos

The design process for this large (600m2) supralocal pharmacy forced us to shift our viewpoint and come up with a virtual building—a placebo pharmacy. The octagonal shape of the existing structure was re-formed into a cylinder in order to create a spiral which seeks to converse with the rapid motion on Vouliagmenis Avenue, the urban artery on which the building stands. The panels of the façade are perforated using Braille, which both alludes to the system’s use on pharmaceutical packaging and boosts visibility by allowing the light to find its way into the interior. The new facade also protects the interior while acting as a lure for passers-by. Inside, the product display mirrors the circular frontage, while a ramp up to the upper level extends the dynamism of the exterior spiral into the interior space.
