Lumen公寓丨希腊雅典丨Block722

如果理想的家能够唤起一种轻松的归属感与熟悉感，那么这套位于雅典的公寓，毫无疑问是其创作者 —— 建筑与设计工作室 Block722 —— 的一项成功之作。空间经过精确设计，以回应居住者的日常需求与生活方式，将至高的功能性、项目所在地的气候与条件，以及这家雅典工作室一贯的“有机奢雅”方法融合在一起。其特色是以手工细节为核心的室内设计、开放性与与自然间的内在联系，为当代城市生活带来新鲜的可能性。

If the ideal home evokes an effortless sense of belonging and familiarity, then this apartment in Athens is a job well done by its creator, architecture and design studio Block722. Precisely designed to respond to the daily needs and lifestyle of its users, the space offers fresh ideas for contemporary urban living – blending supreme functionality, the site’s local conditions, and the Athenian studio’s established approach of organic luxury, which places an emphasis on craft-rich interiors, openness and an intrinsic relationship with nature.

然而，这个项目不仅仅是一件精妙的住宅设计作品。它位于希腊首都雅典Papagou区一条安静且绿意盎然的街道上，是一栋新建住宅楼四、五层的复式单元，同时也是工作室两位创始人 —— 室内设计师Katja Margaritoglou和建筑师Sotiris Tsergas —— 以及他们四口之家的私人长期居所。

Yet this project is more than a masterful showcase of residential design. The duplex unit, set on the fourth and fifth floors of a newly built apartment block on a quiet, leafy street in the Greek capital’s Papagou district, is also the personal base of the studio’s founders, interior designer Katja Margaritoglou and architect Sotiris Tsergas, and their family of four.

在着手打造这座“永恒之家”时，二人心中已有明确的目标。他们希望空间充满个性；既亲密、回应场地，又能真正达到定制化体验 —— 并成为其工作室价值观的具象表达。同时，他们也希望继续居住在自己喜爱的Papagou 区。对理想地点的寻找最终将他们带到一块朝南、背靠树林的街角地块。与本地承包商 Thekla Construction 合作（该公司为整个项目的开发方），Block722设计了一个包含五套住宅的精品住宅方案。他们将顶层两层保留为自用住宅，并与团队共同定义整个建筑的外观设计与其家内部的每一个细节。这栋住宅建筑形态自信、几何明晰，向Papagou的黄金年代致意 —— 这一地区的大部分建成于 20 世纪，并深受国际风格的影响。同时，设计通过柔和的曲线、木质细节与繁茂的地中海植物进行雕塑，轻柔回应现代主义语汇，却让 21 世纪的需求与美学自然浮现。

When the duo embarked on the project to create their ‘forever’ home, they had a set of key objectives in mind. They knew they needed a space brimming with personality; something that is intimate and site-specific, yet truly bespoke, which would act as an embodiment of their studio values. They also wished to remain in Papagou, where they already lived. Their search for the perfect site led them to a south-facing corner plot on a small street that backs into woods. Working with local contractors Thekla Construction, who acted as the overall project’s developers, they designed a boutique housing scheme comprising five apartments. Block722 earmarked the top two levels for their own use, and, together with their team, set out to define both the larger structure’s design and the specific home’s interior. The residential building is confident and geometric, nodding to the spirit of the Golden Age of Papagou, a part of Athens largely developed during the 20th century and influenced by the International Style. At the same time, the design is softly sculpted using curves, timber details, and lush Mediterranean planting, gently nodding to modernist tones but allowing 21st-centuries considerations and aesthetics to shine.

室内，从布局、艺术品摆放，到每件散置或内置家具（其中大部分由工作室自行设计），都以极其精细的方式完全根据家庭成员的生活方式与日常需求量身打造。Margaritoglou与Tsergas与团队进行了无数次生活情景推演，深入分析他们的生活方式、愿望与空间使用习惯，只为打造一座“如手套般契合”他们家庭的真正定制住宅。

Inside, everything, from the layout and the placement of art to specific, loose or built-in furniture (much of it designed by the studio), was exactly crafted and tailor made for the residents’ lifestyle and everyday family requirements. Margaritoglou and Tsergas ran countless scenarios with their team, describing and intensely analysing their way of life, wishes and practical uses of the home, to create a truly customised dwelling which would fit their family like a glove.

这座住宅的室内面积分布在两层，共230平方米。下层包含两个卧室及一个流动的开放式生活空间，通过家具与轻质隔断巧妙划分功能区，并设有一间适合招待宾客的大厨房。上层则是主卧套房，通向一个栽植的屋顶露台，其中包含泳池、平台与半场篮球场。高度私密、量身定制，并以大幅框景引入绿意与城市景观，这间住宅更像“空中独栋住宅”，而非大型开发项目中的一部分。

The home’s interior spreads across two floors and 230 sq m. The property’s first level contains two bedrooms and a flowing, open-plan living space, featuring discrete areas, defined through the clever use of furniture and light partitions, and including a large kitchen, ideal for entertaining. The primary bedroom suite, opening up to a planted roof terrace with a swimming pool, deck, and half-size basketball court, is found upstairs. Self-contained, highly personalised, and taking in the long, carefully framed views of greenery and the cityscape beyond, the project feels more like a detached single-family house in the sky than part of a larger development.

健康与亲自然（biophilic）的理念贯穿整个设计过程：大理石、木材、肌理涂层、红洞石、陶瓷砖与油处理木地板等自然触感材料构成空间主角。延续工作室一贯强调室内外紧密关系的设计主旨，这座住宅旨在让居住者始终与周围环境保持联结。大面积开窗让每个房间都能望见绿意；多功能的休憩与社交空间随需求变化；充盈的自然光确保生活节奏与日照及身体的昼夜节律保持一致。

The idea of wellness and a biophilic approach were central to the design development, showcased through natural, tactile materials, such as marble, wood, textured render, travertino rosso, ceramic tiles, and oiled timber flooring. Following the studio’s overarching style which favours a strong relationship between indoors and outdoors, the home was conceived to connect its users with their surroundings. This is supported by large openings which allow glimpses of greenery from every room; dedicated, flexible spaces for resting and socialising, as needed; and plenty of sunlight that ensures life within is in sync with the sun’s journey throughout the day and the body’s circadian rhythm.

整体构成确保家庭的生活被那些能优雅老化的材料所包裹 —— 强调时间的痕迹与自然的纹理，而非完美光泽。这与Block722更广泛的建筑语言深度呼应。来自本地工匠的手工细节、家具与工艺，为空间注入丰富层次；项目也展现了工作室坚持“以人为本、以自然为本”的设计态度，强调环境（在所有意义上的）与使用者之间的有机关系。整个过程本身也成为团队的重要学习经验。

The composition ensures the family’s every day is wrapped in surfaces that age gracefully – celebrating patina and imperfection rather than polish. This resonates deeply with Block722’s wider architectural language in more ways than one. Details, furniture and labour by local artisans add a rich layer of craft to the whole; while the project also showcases the studio’s commitment to human- and nature-centred design, underlining the need for an organic relationship between the environment – in all its meanings – and its users. The process itself became a learning opportunity for the entire practice.

最终呈现的是一份多层次的城市生活研究 —— 同时也是一个温暖、富有地方感的家。这里显得自然、舒适、毫不造作，仿佛从第一天起就已经被生活填满，与家庭的日常完美契合。Block722的方法，以体验与情感为优先，营造了一个能够孕育深度联结的居家环境 —— 居住者之间、人与场所之间、以及人与生活节奏之间。

The result is a layered case study for city living, as well as a warm home exuding a powerful sense of place. It feels instantly lived-in and comfortable – meant to be thoroughly enjoyed since day one, slotting seamlessly into the family’s life. Block722’s approach, prioritising experience and emotion, produced a domestic environment that fosters deep connections – between residents, with its context, and the rhythm of life itself.
