Luminous Minimal

Limited budget refurbishment in an Athenian southern suburb building transformed existing reality into the oneiric domestic realm. The potential of natural light was enhanced through implementation of neutral pallet natural materials as a blank canvas for illumination effects. Two main parallel axes were established. One that erased boundaries between the private and public, connecting a communal space to the backyard bamboo garden. The other one being a five-meter-long multi-purpose unit that relates to a street side papyrus garden. Slight alteration of already defined space was imposed to avoid excessive demolition of divisions.
