Situated in the upscale coastal suburb of Glyfada, Athens, this architectural project is designed to reflect the vibrant lifestyle and Mediterranean charm of the area. The two-story house with a loft is intended for two families, blending modern functionality with traditional Greek architectural elements. The design incorporates a pitched roof that complements the local aesthetic while optimizing natural light and ventilation.
Glyfada, known for its blend of urban sophistication and seaside relaxation, inspires the layout of the house. The ground floor is designed for one family, offering direct access to outdoor spaces and enhancing the Mediterranean indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The second floor and loft are dedicated to the second family, with the loft serving as a private space for the master bedroom and a home office.
At the back of the house, a swimming pool is positioned to make the most of the sunny south Athens climate, creating a luxurious and relaxing retreat. The basement includes a two-car garage and a sound-insulated music room, adding practical and recreational functions to the home.
The design focuses on sustainability, using energy-efficient materials that respond to the local climate. The house offers a balance between privacy for each family and shared communal spaces, while the pool and outdoor areas embrace the vibrant, leisurely spirit of Glyfada’s coastal setting.
