The lot is located
in an area that evolves from industrial to residential, in the outskirts of
Athens. It is a two floor building that follows the bioclimatic principles and
uses alternative heating systems. Being a composition of “containers” it refers
to the area’s industrial character.
The building’s
metallic structure is cladded with light panels. It benefits from its
construction system, since the realization time is short, it is earthquake
proofed, well insulated, with volumetric plasticity. It turns its back towards
the north and opens with big glass doors to the south oriented garden. The roof
opening allows the interior space to “breath” when warm.
The ground floor is
a free high ceiling space, where the living, kitchen and dining is located. The
protagonist here is the fireplace and the metallic staircase. On the upper
floors the views to Hymettus Mountain filters through the wooden louvers.
The metallic
structure extends outdoors with the pergola and the entrance canopy.
On the upper floor
the cantilevered metal volumes cast the shadows with its play. The industrial
floor underlines the simplicity while the wooden louvers and deck relate to
nature. The base part of the building with the “kourassanit” rough texture
relates to the environment.
