HOMES FOR RENT

Molonglo’s Athens Apartments are available to rent on a long-term basis, for people intending to live in Athens for 12 months or more. Selected apartments are available for sale. As a body of work, they represent an act of reverse ruination across multiple sites in the city. Existing buildings that have fallen into disrepair, whether due to social, economic or personal crises, are sensitively restored and given longevity as homes. They are refurbished without unnecessary adornment, honouring the portrait of the building conceived over many generations. The apartments have been designed by Molonglo in collaboration with Royffe Flynn architects, with landscape design by H. Pangalou & Associates, construction by KDI Contract, and contributions from Antiqua, Temporary Showroom, Theodore Psychoyos and Kopria.

Molonglo

Molonglo was established in 1964 and has offices and active projects in Athens, Canberra and Melbourne. Molonglo sees property development as the willing of architecture into being; from an abstraction of drawings and ideas into something to be touched, inhabited and lived in. Molonglo does this through property investment and development, research and publishing. In addition to the Athens Apartments, current projects include a mixed-use building in Melbourne, which merges commercial, social and cultural activities; a wetlands neighbourhood in Canberra where light industry, working, living, recreation, retail and entertainment will take place in a restored landscape; and Marble in Metamorphosis, a narrative non-fiction and photography book that contemplates the physical and cultural life of marble.

Royffe Flynn

A London-based architecture practice and design consultancy delivering contextually sensitive projects. Their work aims to foster meaningful connections between people, place and culture. This shapes their architecture, driving design responses that are highly crafted, sit lightly in the landscape and are respectful of the surrounding environment.

H. Pangalou & Associates

A landscape design service underpinned by an ethos of ecological sustainability. From master plans to parks and landscape restoration, offices and residential projects, their work seeks to emphasise the experience of topos (place), the healing properties of landscape and the significance of outdoor living.

KDI Contract

An Athens-based construction services company, working across both commercial and residential spaces. Founded in 2006 by engineers Dimitris Konstantinidis and Yiannis Kourtalis, KDI is committed to delivering projects of the highest quality with meticulous attention to each client’s particular requirements and in deep dialogue with local tradespeople and materials.

Antiqua

A gallery exploring, discovering and collecting quality works of art of the modern era that withstand the test of time. Established in 1954, their focus in recent years has been on design masters of the global marketplace and Greek artists with an international presence, within the fields of furniture, lighting, ceramics and sculpture.

Temporary Showroom

Established in 2001 by Alketas Pazis, Temporary Showroom locates, reclaims and trades an extensive collection of post-modern and mid-century-modern furniture and industrial antiques. It operates mainly as a prop house for the film industry, and has contributed to the set design of more than 2000 commercials and international film productions.

Theodore Psychoyos

An artist constantly exploring new means of expression, with his output including music, painting, sculpture and design. The collection of his furniture included in the Athens Apartments is formed from marble pieces discarded by quarries or abandoned in warehouses, bearing the marks of the human hand, machinery and the elements.

Kopria

An Athens-based plant store, flower studio and creative office, established in 2018. They are a team of ten people who believe plants are not a hype. Their shop specialises in indoor and outdoor plants, ceramics and garden tools, while their studio work involves concept creation and project curation for brands and institutions.
