Edge House in Athens by Studio Omerta is an extraordinary family residence situated on an elevated site overlooking the Greek capital. The home offers breathtaking panoramic views from its main living spaces and embodies a sculptural approach to modern architecture.
Contemporary Design and Fluid Forms
This striking residence is a testament to Studio Omerta’s refined balance between form, light, and materiality. The interplay of curvatures within the walls and floor-to-ceiling glass creates a sense of movement and fluidity throughout the space. At the same time, the abundance of natural light softens the strong architectural gestures, highlighting the home’s elegant structure and refined details.
Upon entering the Edge House in Athens through a large pivot door, visitors are immediately greeted by a sculptural metal wall-mounted frame and a series of custom-designed shelves. These elements, crafted by Studio Omerta, establish the tone for the classic yet contemporary aesthetic that flows through every room.
Living Space and Atmosphere
In the expansive living area, elliptical sofas echo the building’s soft curves, blending harmoniously with the meandering glass façades. The play of dark and light tones enhances the space’s depth, while natural light shifts throughout the day to create a dynamic visual experience.
A bespoke bookcase adds both structure and texture to the room, complemented by warm grey walls that ground the interior. As daylight fades, concealed lighting and sculptural fixtures subtly transform the ambiance, infusing the space with warmth and intimacy. The careful orchestration of artificial and natural light demonstrates Studio Omerta’s mastery of spatial atmosphere.
Art and Interior Expression
Throughout the Edge House in Athens, a diverse collection of sculptures and contemporary artworks enriches the interiors. Each piece enhances the architecture without overwhelming it, allowing art and structure to exist in a refined dialogue. The overall design blends classical references with contemporary craftsmanship, achieving a serene balance between sophistication and comfort.
Studio Omerta’s thoughtful approach results in a home that feels both expressive and timeless. The residence celebrates the harmony between architecture, light, and art — a true reflection of modern living in one of Europe’s most historic cities.
