The original layout, defined by a long, dark corridor, fragmented the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/residential-architecture-interiors\/\">apartment<\/a><\/strong> into a sequence of disconnected rooms. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/renovation-architecture-and-design\/\">intervention<\/a><\/strong> by Greek studio threshold is simple and legible. All non-structural walls are removed, and a second, almost hidden WC is introduced. The main bathroom proudly sits at the heart of the plan. Where privacy is required, translucent or transparent partitions allow light to pass through freely. By evening, the bathroom becomes a glowing glass box, a quiet shadow play. Floors and ceilings are given equal care.<\/p>\n<p>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/vassoparaschi.com\/\">Vasso Paraschi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">A minimal set of gestures restores Troias Apartment in Kypseli<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thres-hold.gr\/\">design team<\/a><\/strong> at threshold restores the wooden floors and arranges the kitchen as a floating element between two distinct surfaces. Below, a tomato-red floor marks the center of the intervention, receding at the entrance to reveal the original terrazzo. Above, the ceiling bears the imprint of the removed walls, a quiet trace of the apartment\u2019s former layout. A light metal structure, floating lights, a giant house for a small extractor, and a full-height silver curtain are placed with intent, inviting shifting reflections throughout the day. Troias Apartment is composed of a sequence of elements, shaped through a minimal set of gestures, some essential, others simply possible. A precise palette of materials binds everything together. In the end, the apartment becomes a modest framework for everyday life, carefully unfolded, quietly rearranged.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the double-sided kitchen furniture becomes a display object for the living and dining space<\/p>\n<p>threshold reimagines the space by removing all non-structural walls<\/p>\n<p>translucent partitions allow privacy without compromising natural light<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>a reflective silver curtain creates a theatrical set-up, while hiding additional storage<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>bespoke entrance furniture incorporates a seating space and multi-purpose storage<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>traces of the old walls remain intact within the 1970s apartment<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the shower takes a prominent position behind the curved glass brick wall<\/p>\n<p>the existing old marble sink was re-integrated in the bathroom, built in a soft green enclosure<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0Troias Apartment<br \/>\n<strong>architects:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thres-hold.gr\/\">threshold<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/__threshold\/\">@__threshold<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ceramics:<\/strong> chryssavgie ceramics | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chryssavgie.ceramics\/\">@chryssavgie.ceramics<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Kypseli, Athens, Greece<\/p>\n<p><strong>photographer:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/vassoparaschi.com\/\">Vasso Paraschi<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vassoparaschi\/\">@vassoparaschi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/red-floor-minimal-1970s-athens-apartment-revamped-threshold-troias-apartment-kypseli-06-13-2025\/\">red floor runs over minimal 1970s athens apartment revamped by threshold<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>threshold introduces a glowing glass box in 1970s apartment \u00a0 Troias Apartment sits quietly on the first floor of a 1970s polykatoikia (apartment building) in the dense fabric of Kypseli, Athens, nestled between two narrow &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
