In the leafy suburb of Panorama, Thessaloniki, a former family home is transformed into a contemporary residence that balances openness with intimacy. The 1987 villa, later expanded in 2001, is stripped to its essential form and reimagined through minimal lines, material tactility, and a renewed dialogue with its surrounding garden.

The exterior sheds ornamentation, revealing a clear, geometric volume wrapped in a wooden lattice that frames balconies and mediates views. Fiber cement panels introduce subtle depth, while warm red plaster contrasts with the lush greenery, grounding the building within its environment. A flat roof integrates solar panels, uniting sustainability and design.

Inside, spatial flows respond to modern living. The ground floor opens to semi-enclosed communal areas overlooking the pool and garden, while the upper level organizes private quarters, including a master suite, children’s rooms, and a home office. A partially elevated basement accommodates recreational and service areas, illuminated by natural light that animates the space.

The interiors employ an earthy, monochromatic palette: oak floors, beige ceramics, and black marble accents provide a calm backdrop for built-in furniture that shapes each room volumetrically. Outdoors, terraces, a larger pool, and pathways combine linear and curving gestures, guiding movement and creating intimate gathering spots.

The project reinvents an inherited home into a contemporary, contextually rooted residence, where architecture, landscape, and daily life coexist in quiet harmony.
