An Urban Retreat by Tsolka Architects

Wood-effect aluminium panels and a living wall grace this building in the Athenian Riviera

Nestled in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, P&P is an elegant residential complex that offers a sophisticated urban retreat for those who appreciate refined living. This architectural gem designed by Tsolka Architects is a visual masterpiece, characterised by a harmonious interplay of meticulously arranged horizontal and vertical volumes. Each residence and accompanying terrace is highlighted against a vertical axis, creating a striking design that stands out in the vibrant cityscape.

The six-storey building is a study in contrast. The purity of white stucco contrasts with the rich, dark tones of black stone and glass, especially on its reflective eastern façade that becomes vibrant at night. Adding a touch of nature, a living wall on the southeastern corner introduces sculptural depth and a vibrant green accent. This natural element is enhanced by wood-effect aluminium panels and climbing plants, enabling the building to blend seamlessly with its environment.

Inside, the minimalist design continues, featuring luxurious wooden flooring, natural yet unexpected materials and bespoke furniture shapes. These elements offer a serene backdrop to the open-plan living areas, which lead to expansive terraces equipped with infinity pools. These outdoor spaces are perfect for relaxing while taking in breathtaking views of the city and coastline, providing residents with an oasis of tranquillity and elegance in the bustling city.

P&P offers a variety of living spaces, including a ground-floor duplex with double-height living spaces, twin three-bedroom apartments and a four-bedroom penthouse duplex with a private sky garden. Each unit is designed to maximise space and light, creating a luxurious and comfortable living environment. The complex embodies a lifestyle of luxury and comfort, tailored for those who seek the best in contemporary urban living.
