Private Villa
Residential
Trilofos, Thessaloniki
Maison Epure is a study in tactile minimalism—where simplicity is never sterile, and quiet tones speak with confident clarity. Envisioned as a private retreat, the design unfolds as a seamless dialogue between spatial serenity and sculptural expression.
The heart of the villa is its sunken living space—a bold yet calming volume where conversation and contemplation coexist. Anchored by a fluted travertine fireplace and wrapped in warm white tones, the room invites stillness. Sculptural, low-slung seating arrangements emphasize horizontality, enhancing the visual flow while providing relaxed intimacy. A seamless blend of large-format stone, soft plastered walls, and natural timber elements creates an atmosphere of weightless elegance. Carefully curated lighting—both built-in and ambient—gently sculpts the space without disrupting its calm.
The adjacent dining and kitchen zones extend the material story with cohesion and subtle contrast. The dining area features a bold yet understated solid wood table surrounded by minimalist chairs, with a fluted feature wall echoing textures from the living area. In the kitchen, a refined palette of creamy travertine, matte cabinetry, and integrated appliances elevates everyday function to architectural art. A continuous rhythm of vertical lines, concealed lighting, and floating planes contributes to the overall sense of openness and order.
The bedroom suite is a private retreat of softness and balance. The space is visually quiet but emotionally resonant, with a natural palette of soft neutrals and warm greys. A custom-designed, fluted wall feature acts as a headboard, grounding the bed and enhancing the sense of enclosure. Gentle curves in the furniture—an arched vanity mirror, a cylindrical bench—offer contrast to the room’s linear architecture, while layered lighting introduces intimacy. Here, materiality becomes tactile comfort: velvet, wood, linen, and lacquered surfaces speak in quiet harmony.
Function meets sophistication in the walk-in wardrobe, where the design transitions seamlessly from the bedroom. Full-height cabinetry with fluted glass panels and integrated lighting elevates storage into spatial theatre. A soft herringbone timber floor guides the eye forward, emphasizing linearity and depth. Drawer systems and display shelving are cleanly built-in, keeping the space uncluttered and reflective of the villa’s architectural discipline.
The master bathroom brings the villa’s sculptural language to its most refined expression. Wrapped entirely in large-format grey marble-look porcelain, the space is grounded and immersive. A floating double vanity in matching stone is flanked by a full-width illuminated mirror, creating a cinematic wash of light. Black tapware and accents punctuate the softness with contrast and precision. A freestanding tub, recessed shelving, and shadow-line lighting work in concert to offer a spa-like experience without excess. Every detail is reduced to its purest form: functional, beautiful, and quiet.
Throughout the villa, restraint is used as a tool to amplify presence. Each material was chosen not only for its aesthetic value but for its emotional impact: stone for its grounding weight, timber for its warmth, plaster and fabric for their softness. Natural light plays a vital role, revealing texture and volume across the day. The overall layout fosters a continuous spatial flow, while strategic zoning allows for moments of privacy and introspection.
Maison Epure stands as a serene architectural composition, where minimalist design becomes deeply personal, and where every surface, shadow, and silence has been thoughtfully considered.
