Mixed Use Building In Thermi, Thessaloniki
This project is about a two-story mixed use building in Thermi, near Thessaloniki, Greece. Commercial use takes place on the ground floor, while each of the two stores has a loft at its disposal. Workspaces are located on the first floor, while at the end of the roof lies a small living area with a bedroom, living room and kitchen.
The building adapts to the boundaries of the plot, while parts of its volume are being subtracted to create green spaces, which are ultimately surrounded by a shell with horizontal blinds. A canopy on ground floor’s entrance creates semi-outdoors space for the stores to use, giving a more public and welcoming character to the building. As for the green roof of the building, two openings are created on it in allowing lighting and ventilation of first’s floor semi-outdoor spaces. In terms of colors, white dominates while anthracite was chosen for details such as aluminum frames.

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.
