On a very mildly inclined site in an Athenian suburb a residence was designed to cover the needs of a family of four.The compositional procedure aimed to the design of a bare and “quiet” shell, fully adjusted to the contour and the environmentboth morphologically and functionally.

The residence’s main characteristic, also a basic request by the clients is that all main spaces, communal and private, are laid out in one level,simultaneously connecting to the surrounding garden.This way a visual continuity and unification between exterior and interior is established, aided by the large, wooden framed, slidingglass panels.

The residence is surrounded by a natural landscape while simultaneously built around it, as all living areas - entrance hall, sittingand dining area - are laid out around a central core, the atrium, which contains elements of water and greenery and is the focal referenceof the house, since all spaces converse with it, are separated by it and at the same time, are unified via the large internal openingssurrounding it.
