Kitchen of the Week: A Moody and Modern Loft Kitchen in Athens

We’ve been admiring the work of Barcelona-based designer Andrew Trotter for a while now, so we took note when we discovered the 10 AM Lofts in Athens, a six-story multipurpose events and exhibition space located in a former warehouse.

Working with Gavalas Ioannidou Architecture and Eva Papadaki, Trotter outfitted the two-floor residential penthouse, which features limewashed plaster walls and polished black stone floors to give the space “a feeling of raw luxury,” as the designers say.

Here’s a look:

The walls are limewashed in Mykonos by Bauwerk Colour (for more, see our recent post A New Collection of Bauwerk Limewash Paints, Inspired by European Cities).

For similar light-filtering window treatments, consider Nordic Knots’ new curtain line.
