The residential complex develops on a slope of the mountain range of Penteli. Following the natural slope it integrates to the morphology of the soil and the existing planting. The building consists of two main sections. A stone-clad base houses the first ground floor house. On this structure, sits the building volume of the other two “twin” two-storey houses. The upper floors have a special style plaster, in earthy texture and shade. This maximizes the integration of the building in the natural landscape. A characteristic of the architectural design of the facades and the building shell, is the prismatic geometries. These, ensure the privacy between the properties and the shared uses. On the other hand they function as “frame” towards view points and orientations of special interest. Moreover, an important element for the organization of the outdoor space and the common life of the complex is the location of the swimming pool on the plateau at the back of the plot. At the same time, it creates a visual reference point for the spaces of the complex with the respective orientation.
