The architect Natalia Bazaiou renovated a late ‘70’s apartment, originally dark and arranged into small spaces. It is now home to a family of four, with its remodelled interior meeting their needs for open green spaces and transparency, for a pervading spirit of playfulness and a relaxed sense of flow between the different uses of space; also, for the kind of planning that defies traditional limitations and space allocation trends. Plants, trees and soil are basic parameters of the family’s everyday life in the apartment as they are the focal point around which the plan develops.
