Avaro Atina, Attiki Yunanistan

Avaro is a contemporary garden residence positioned within one of Glyfada’s quieter residential streets, where low-rise architecture, mature trees and wide avenues create a softer rhythm than the nearby coastline. Arranged across three levels, the maisonette has been designed to maximise privacy, natural light and the connection between interior spaces and the landscaped garden that surrounds the home. The architecture is clean and restrained, combining pale stone, timber finishes and large expanses of frameless glazing with a calm, understated material palette.

The residence unfolds gradually from the private entrance, where planted boundaries and shaded outdoor spaces create a sense of separation from the surrounding neighbourhood. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels draw daylight deep into the interiors while allowing the living areas to open entirely toward the garden and pool. Throughout the day, sunlight moves softly across marble surfaces, pale oak cabinetry and textured wall finishes, giving the interiors warmth despite their minimal architectural language.

The principal living and dining areas occupy the garden level, arranged as one continuous open space connected directly to the exterior terraces. A double-height marble fireplace anchors the main salon, while the glazing retracts almost entirely to dissolve the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. The pool sits immediately beyond the covered terrace, bordered by dense planting that enhances both privacy and greenery within the property. The relationship between water, planting and interior space gives the home an atmosphere more closely associated with a private villa than a city residence.

The kitchen balances sculptural simplicity with practicality, combining marble worktops, integrated timber cabinetry and discreet storage solutions. Positioned beside the dining area, it benefits from direct natural light and garden views, while maintaining the clean architectural lines carried throughout the property.

The five bedrooms are distributed across the upper and lower levels, allowing separation between guest accommodation, family spaces and private suites. The principal suite is particularly generous, combining soft neutral tones, oversized glazing and a marble bathroom finished with freestanding bathtub, natural stone surfaces and warm timber detailing. Several bedrooms open onto terraces or private outdoor areas, reinforcing the sense of openness and connection to the surrounding greenery.

On the lower level, the residence incorporates a series of secondary lifestyle and utility spaces including a private home cinema, storage areas, laundry facilities and underground parking with electric charging infrastructure. Advanced home automation, underfloor heating, enhanced security systems and energy-efficient design elements support comfortable year-round living while remaining discreetly integrated into the architecture.

The exterior spaces have been conceived as a natural extension of the interiors rather than separate entertaining zones. Covered sitting areas, shaded dining terraces and the private pool create a sequence of outdoor rooms protected from the stronger summer heat while still allowing light and airflow to move freely through the property. Mature planting and carefully positioned landscaping soften the geometry of the building and create a surprising sense of privacy within central Glyfada.

Although peaceful in atmosphere, the residence remains closely connected to the coastline and central Athens Riviera lifestyle. Glyfada’s cafés, restaurants, marina and beaches are within easy reach, while Astir Marina, the One&Only Aesthesis Resort and central Athens are accessible within a short drive. Completion is scheduled for Summer 2026.
