Family House In Tagarades Thessaloniki Greece
The site is situated in a rural area near Tagarades village, in the broader Thessaloniki area.
In this particular site the client had already issued a building permit for a 210sq m house that unfortunately did not match his standards. So he turned to o25 in order to produce a new concept for the house, and design something that would satisfy his family needs. Due to legislation issues, we could not start this project from scratch, as were obliged to maintain the original house’s plot outline and total volume (amount of m3).

Intriguing as it was, the project appeared to be more complicated as we thought at first as we had to rearrange almost everything within a strict preshaped box. Both the interior and the exterior of the house had to be redesigned and fit the family’s own lifestyle. So, the idea chosen was the simplest one. Concerning the exterior, the building shell was wrapped in a continuous frame that changes direction constantly. This solid ribbon was altering the original naif shape, as it was forming balconies, terraces and pergolas, serving as a second skin on the building. Inside, the plot was completely rearranged. The first floor, which is smaller than the ground floor, has an interior balcony, that leaves space for a high ceiling area on the ground floor in front of the staircase.

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.
