House

in Athens

The proposal concerns the design of a house in Penteli. The plot is characterized by strong slope and high planting. The architectural composition takes advantage of the panoramic view of the city at the highest point of the plot and is focused to the placement of the different functions to separated volumes. The building is located at the highest point and consists of a base on which a rectangular volume is placed and acts like a screen to the view of the city. The base houses the bedrooms and the living spaces are placed on the screen volume.

A third prism makes the connection between the base and the screen volume and houses the staircase and the central entrance of the residence. A yard with a swimming pool is located on the ground floor and gets private from the public space due to the high planting. The yard penetrates centrally into the building volume and creates a patio, as an extension of the entrance space.
