Galerie Lefakis | DETAIL design - interior architecture & design

The intervention aims to transform a pre- existing space on the ground floor of a listed building in the centre of Athens, that would advocate a family’s business history and their passion for art. The project is conceived as an elegant and sophisticated vessel that promotes and hosts art, by highlighting its precious character. The minimal space, that acts as a canvas for showcasing the artwork, is emphasized by the use of natural materials. The earthy tones of the background help to highlight the paintings on show. The building's two facades draw passers-by through showcase openings that provide a binary view from both the interior and outdoor sections. The narrow shop windows were accentuated with led lighting and were designed to receive various art pieces. In the heart of the gallery, there is a sliding wall that according to the exhibition’ s needs can accordingly open up space or create additional wall surface.
