Residence in Kifisia: A Modern Retreat with a Soulful Past

A charming breeze from the past preserved in the renovation of a suburban home.

In Kifisia, a 1967 residence has been reborn, stone walls and warm wood weaving past and present into a serene modern retreat. A home that whispers of suburban nostalgia while embracing the elegance of contemporary living.

In the leafy suburb of Kifisia, a 1967 residence has been lovingly reimagined, blending the charm of yesterday with the comforts of today. Once defined by stone walls, tiled roofs, and wide-open views, the home carried the gentle aura of suburban life in the 1960s, carefree, tranquil, and quietly elegant.
The renovation embraces this spirit, preserving the discreet charm of the past while reshaping the house into a warm, contemporary retreat. Natural stone and expansive openings remain central, but they are now paired with refined interiors that speak to modern living. A continuous wooden structure flows through the rooms, integrating furniture, cabinets, and hidden doors into a seamless design. Every detail, from wardrobes to a liquor cabinet, disappears into the rhythm of the woodwork, creating a calm and cohesive atmosphere.
The result is a home that feels both timeless and fresh. It pays homage to Greece’s modernist tradition while offering its residents a cozy sanctuary from the pace of everyday life. With its warm materials, understated geometry, and thoughtful design, the Kifisia residence is more than a renovation, it is a lifestyle statement, where history and modern comfort meet in perfect harmony.
