Apartments under the roof

As the increasing population in cities calls for more apartments, refurbishments are crucial to accom-modating new inhabitants while avoiding an unlimited growth of the urbanised area.

Many attics, especially in buildings from the 50's to th 70's are an, until recently, unrecognised resource, but are now being converted into apartments. The necessity of densification meets the renovation demand, forming a great design opportunity.

Believing in the beauty of attic spaces, Babis C. Tekeoglou decided to keep their original qualities.

Each apartment was enhanced by a six meters long dormer with balconies in front of them. VELUX roof windows from both sides of the roof gable ensure bright daylight all through the day as well as natural cross–ventilation. Efficient, well-proportioned rooms with visual references between them and the abundance of sunlight are a true luxury in the otherwise modest flats.
