Private Residence In Drafi, Athens, Greece
The residence is located in Drafi, in one of the highest points of this area, overlooking half the Attica area and the Gulf of Saronicos. It is a residence deployed on two levels – one of them semi-underground – exclusively planned to cover specific needs. Three main building volumes, two with single-sided roofs and one with a roof in the shape of a regular pyramid, constitute the whole with the use of wooden joints. The floor plan has an L-shape, embracing the pool. The main planning target was to organize a residence, so that it may serve simple living needs and satisfy the need for “direct contact” of everyday life with the natural ground.

This project refers to the design of a ground floor private residence with surrounding fencing, in the farm area of Epanomi (municipality of Thermaikos) which has a total area of 11557.50 sq.m. The ground floor house has been designed and developed based on the topographical details of the area . The building has visual engravings on the southwest, its entrance is located on the northeast and evolves around a outdoor living room. More specifically, the exterior seating area consists of a semi-outdoor area with a pergola, which includes the entrance to the house.
The main living spaces are located in the northwest part of the property. There is the kitchen with the dining room and the living room, as well as two bedrooms and a laundry space. To the southeast there are three guest bedrooms, one with a private bathroom and two with a shared one.
The external staircase located on the main patio leads to an outdoor seating area, which is designed on the roof, with a pergola. On the exterior space of the building one more pergola creates a shading system that serves the outdoor parking space. The outdoor space also hosts a hot tub, in connection to the master bedroom.
The central and connecting element of the composition is the atrium, from which there is access to the all the interior spaces. The design offers privacy where it is needed with large openings to the surrounding view.
