Private Competition “Pr210 Office Building” Thessaloniki Greece

1st PRIZE

The building is located in an area out of the town of Thessaloniki on the main highway. It is a 15000 sq.m. office building in three levels. The necessity of natural lighting and ventilation of the building guided as at the division of the building in smaller volumes. One of our main concepts was the creation of an internal courtyard which would divide the volumes of the building but in the meanwhile it will connect them through a tranquil, secure and pleasant enclosed space. This internal courtyard will be the heart of the building and an interesting and agreeable area for the employees of the building to relax, communicate and meet each other. All the circulation towards the surrounded buildings will be made through this internal courtyard where we suggested the creation of resting spots and a café-restaurant for the employees and visitors.

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.
