The commission was to design and build a house for a family of 5 in a plot situated at the Chalandri suburb of Athens, Greece. The site offers good placement in terms of natural light and air flow elements that were utilized to make the experience of day to day living (especially during the hot summer months) less energy consuming. The surrounding structures are mostly comprised of multi storey residential buildings of questionable aesthetics, so the whole design tends to defend private space, and create microclimate for family life to flourish.
