Architect Efi Malandraki and interior architect and designer Barbara Kountzaki, transformed a typical Athenian apartment of a residential building in the heart of Athens, into an Airbnb residence with a playful and fresh touch.
The goal was to produce an Airbnb project that surpasses the narrow margins of the typical bed and breakfast concept, therefore to create spaces that boast hints of Greek hospitality, high standards of comfort and elements of design.
Terracotta colorsblend harmoniously with soft cream tonesand wooden details all through the open space areas of the apartment. Curvy ribbons of color, being the key point of the design, expand parasitically through the existing interior, showcasing the structural elements and unfolding beyond them.
The design concept is actually based on the Greek ice cream flavor called “Kaimaki”, a traditional welcoming treat served with a sour cherry topping – a cordial delicacy, inseparably linked with the authentic Greek hospitality.
