Apartment Building In Polichrono – Halkidiki / Greece
The apartment building is situated in Polichrono, Greece, a summer destination in the first peninsula of Halkidiki. The building program refers to seven apartments organized in three building volumes connected with staircases. The apartments’ design follows three different types. Type A refers to the ground floor apartments, while type B refers to those on the upper floor developing on two levels. The final type, type C, is an apartment developed in all three levels of the complex.
Given the outdoor use of the house, special emphasis was given in the relationship between interior and exterior, with the creation of private courtyards and verandas while large openings allow natural ventilation and sunbathing inside.

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.
