Competition Athens X 4 Athens Greece
This proposal refers to the regeneration of four blocks of buildings in the junction of Epikourou St and Korinis St., in Keramikos, Athens. The aim of the proposal is the formation of a larger urban block where the voids will affect the everyday life of the residents and expand the public space.
In that sense, the public space that refers to a specific block of a larger scale for instance, will generate different uses for the residents and will be rendered as a park in constant motion. Green prevails, also changing the microclimate of the area where rainwater and sunlignt are controlled and managed so as to carry out the sustainability issues of each block. The car is not totally out of the picture, gaining controlled access. Ηowever the focus transfers to pedestrians and residents.

The area is dealt as a web of prospects, where human intervention creates the base for the nature to gradually expand. An ideal vision would be the green area that grows even when man disappears, to be overtaken by nature in different ways that will change the view of each site.

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.
