The lot is situated in the outskirts of Athens. It has extent of 1.000 m2 and orientation in
the small side southerner.
The project concerns two private residences with
basement and a common yard. Houses are placed in regression to the street and
they are downgraded hypsometrically so that their privacy is ensured.
Construction process consists of a metal frame resting
on concrete walls. The roof is cladded with zinc and glazed windows form the
facades.
Designing the two residences as an entity is the
subject of the study.
Basic synthetic principals of the design are:
Dissolution of limits between lived space and natural,
the unification of the internal of the buildings with the surrounding external
space.
Organisation between private and common spaces through
the concrete wall connecting the two sides of the building.
Plasticity of form and the creation of a unique
geometry through the use of metal construction.
Forming of views in the interior and exterior of the building
through openings that are adapted in the metal roof.
