The building situated in Glyfada is designed by the 314 architecture studio. Its distinctive feature is its fluid and sculptural form, with curved surfaces and a minimalistic white facade. The fundamental philosophy centers on crafting spaces that invite users to engage, comprehend, and perceive contemporary architecture in a novel light. The keen interest lies in establishing emotional connections with the environment, recognizing the intellectual and emotional bonds individuals share with the spaces they inhabit.
The windows and openings are uniquely shaped, adding to the artistic appearance. The use of perforations in the walls and possibly translucent materials suggests a focus on light and shadows, creating dynamic effects throughout the day, drawing its inspiration from the starry night effect which adds a magical, otherworldly quality to the building as well as an interesting play between the light and shadows.
The design appears to draw inspiration from organic architecture, emphasizing harmony between human habitation and the natural environment. This style is often characterized by fluid lines and an integration with the surrounding landscape. The use of white and the soft, rounded forms might also be influenced by Mediterranean architecture, known for its bright, airy designs and use of whitewashed walls.
The overall aesthetic is likely intended to blend artistic expression with residential functionality, creating a space that is both visually striking and pleasant to inhabit.
