Modern architecture and materials, becoming mainstream and applied by contractors, especially in Greece, with reduction of costs and master planning, produced an anonymity, especially in what regards inner space of buildings. The practice gave solutions to perplexity but on the same time often rejected primary notions coming with older "difficult" erection of a dwelling. In this project a try was given to "play" with the notions of anonymity, lightness in impression, a massive wall, undifferentiated space, small pockets of specific interest. The plan was kept "plan libre", under conditions, spacious in public spaces of the house, enclosed in private ones. The basic try given towards simplicity, leaded to a wooden floor which runs throughout the whole house, being THE FLOOR. On the same way, walls and ceiling in one state, become THE SHELL. The shell, as a jar put upside down, covers the plan's turns and diversions, giving a serene simple enclosure.
No windows, the big openings from ceiling to floor open this shell to the light and outer space, to the spacious veranda in front of the living-room. The same way a big glass opening in each sleeping room gives to a small 0.7 meters balcony were one could just sit for a coffee, near a plant, look to the sky, look around; Building regulations of the area have provided the means for that. There is not real differentiation in "traveling" through the plan's turns. Small pockets though are created by chosen furniture. A table, a light, I'm sitting on the couch, I' m near the fireplace. The fireplace is a wall with holes, revitalizing the massive wall's specificities, kind of lost in a two dimensions world of modern architecture. In the same manner, another "massive wall" with three holes in the master bedroom, "encloses" the bathroom, the television, the exit to the more public spaces of the house.
A) Anonymity and absence of design for the public spaces of the apartment, as a design decision, give the pace.
B) Notions of a massive wall you can sit by, or have to pass through, for more enclosed enclosures of the house.
C) Small pockets of interest, created by furniture arrangement.
D) Veranda in front of living-room, two or three plants near where one can sit. The whole opens to the exterior, nature isn't missing, it's a suburb.
