Lara Vartzioti's restoration of a 1930s building in Exarcheia melds modern functionality with a respect for historic architecture, embodying both past and present principles.

The project aims to preserve the original details of the 1930s building while adapting its interiors to meet contemporary living standards, ensuring usability without losing character.

'The inspiration for this restoration was Aggelos Siagas's approach on the design,' shares the architect. 'By studying his plans, we came up with the new design while respecting and updating the old one.'
