Residence in Kifissia
Attica, Attica, Greece
Project Featured on Aug 20, 2015
The residence's plot is
small and an adjacent building almost blocks the southern sun. The main part of
the field should remain free and become the residence itself: an austere prism,
centrally supported, hovers above theliberated ground.At first, an area was
defined: a cubic shell of plants creates a limit for the house. In order to
reside, ones withdraws in. Three metallic columns support a net of inox ropes
where plants have already started to climb in order to generate a volume
equally important to the house’s prisms.
When the plants are grown
the green screen will be penetrated only by the black, central column of the concrete
shelter. The basalt-watery surface on which it is based reflects the light in
the interior. Exposed concrete is dark tinted where a greater
depth, a sense of anchoring was necessary. Artificial light is cautiously
managed in order to protect the night and the intimacy that dim light offers.
The
shell remains intact towards the main façade. The public image of the residence will
eventually recede behind the plants and the house will claim the whole field.
The vigorously detached prism lets the sun enter and functions as a shelter:
living space lies beneath. When the sliding panels retreat, the merging with
the garden is complete.
The
space that the elevated prism creates is the main compositional gesture. The
manner that this gesture is performed is crucial: it is the manner through which the hovering
prism is supported by the central column. A calm tension is realized, a simple
yet clear correlation of forces. The synergy between structural and
architectural design gives a residence where the shell is not more important
than its field. Those are juxta-posed: one to one.
