RESIDENCE IN PANORAMA

The study concerns the design of the interior spaces of a duplex house in Panorama, Thessaloniki, for a young owner. The main requirement was to create a contemporary outcome that exudes balance, tranquility, and a warm atmosphere. The design approach uses contrasts, clean lines, and strict contours. The sharp contrast of white and black combined with wood and marble harmoniously balance the design, radiating a simple aesthetic result.

The residence consists of three levels and a roof garden. On the ground floor, there is an open-plan living space, on the first level, the resting areas and bathrooms, in the basement, the gym area, and on the roof, the jacuzzi and outdoor relaxation areas.

Entering the residence is the staircase, which guides you to the other levels of the house. Its design aims to discreetly separate it from the rest of the space. The staircase is cladded in white marble with vertical marble elements enhancing the sense of unity in the interior. The handrail is supported by a wooden structure, which encloses vertical lighting, emphasizing the height of the staircase.

The living room and dining area are located in front of the large balcony door and receive plenty of natural light, highlighting their importance in the space. In the living room, as a focal and meeting point both functionally and conceptually, a central custom-made piece has been designed that covers one wall. The fireplace, the television, and hidden storage and organization cabinets are created in this big piece of furniture. The variation of materials used characterizes the respective functional zones and creates a warm atmosphere. The linear hidden lighting highlights the wooden storage mass and simultaneously lightens it, differentiating it from the dark grey zone that runs lower.

The dining area and kitchen are discreetly defined by the use of black as a defining element and white as an element that lightens the space.

The master bedroom and bathroom follow the minimalistic design line that dominates the residence, combining black and white tones with wood, following a common aesthetic.

The lighting complements the design gestures. Specifically, recessed hidden linear lighting emphasizes the clean geometries created, while magnetic tracks are used on the ceilings, with linear lights and spotlights for direct lighting. Finally, pendant lights underline the relevance of the kitchen island and the dining area.
