Can architecture align with your rhythm?

Life Plan is a spatial narrative designed for A.:

a remote worker drifting through Greece on her summer break, who temporarily calls a small studio in Piraeus her home.

At 08:30, the city hums to life.

Sunlight filters through the slatted partition,

bouncing off terrazzo textures and filling the compact apartment with a sense of readiness.

A. wakes up, coffee-bound, soaking in the morning calm before the digital buzz of her remote job kicks in.

By 08:45, she’s in motion:

migrating from bed to kitchen island, mug in hand.

At 09:00, she logs in. The studio isn’t just a place to stay;

it’s a looped choreography of comfort and function: workspace, dining zone, lounging corner.

One single open plan, many subtle zones.

The apartment’s layout responds to a transient yet structured lifestyle.

Minimal yet playful, it supports A.’s light-footed routine and syncs with the energy of the city beyond.

With the sea nearby and the streets calling, the design invites not just rest, but anticipation.

Not bad for a summer plan, don’t you think?

A little insight to the project…
What A. doesn’t know is that the little airy flat she spends her summers in is part of a larger exercise — a former ground-floor shop transformed into four compact apartments for short-term stays.

It was a bit of a challenge: two sides of the plan were completely blocked by neighboring buildings, limiting access to light and air.

The approach was to carve out open pockets within the layout: creating internal facades, inviting cross-ventilation, and letting daylight reach deep into each unit. These planted voids now act as the lungs of the project, allowing light to travel through rooms and fresh air to circulate freely.
A’s. accommodation for the summer is part of a 4-flat development in this same ground floor!
