Retail And Apartment Building In Pylea Thessaloniki Greece
This is a small sized, mixed use (retail / apartments) building in Pylea, Thessaloniki. The plot is situated on a major axis connecting the eastern suburbs of Thessaloniki with Pylea and Panorama two of the best satellite urban areas of the city. The area offers views to the city and the sea as it is located in higher grounds. We designed a building that is transparent on the ground floor and has a passage that leads to the back side of the site, where there is a private parking space for 8 cars and a maneuvering space to unload goods. The two apartment stories are disconnected from the shop through the use of a 80cm “neck”, creating a floating effect. Aluminum shaders, white color, glass, and greenery are the substances to support the architecture. Simple “doric” lines and volumes and absence of decorative elements complete the concept.

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.
