Apartment in Kifissia reworks a 1980s apartment in Kifisia, Greece, with a clear eye on its modernist bones and open plan. Panagiotis Papanikolaou Design Studio preserves the generous windows and original wood while threading in new color and material cues that echo the surrounding landscape. The result is an updated urban home that respects its past yet feels distinctly present.

iaa_E15 sits in Milan, Italy, within a 1930s rationalist building near Corso Buenos Aires. Icona Architetti Associati reshaped this apartment, originally a pied-à-terre, into a full-time home with a clear plan and a controlled material palette. Curves and arches replace doors with deliberate thresholds, while wood and marble ground the rooms in a calm rhythm. The result reads measured and urbane, designed in 2023 for daily use rather than occasional stays.
