Changing The Face Of “A Medical-Diagnostic Centre”In Peraia Thessaloniki Greece
The building is situated approximately 30 minutes outside the city of Thessaloniki, in an area called Peraia. It constitutes a proposal for the unification of two existing commercial buildings into one medical diagnostic center. It’s a new layer to the old body of the structure, which creates architectural as well as stable bonding. Having in mind the existing building we created a vertical blind structure, which is detached in two equal parts by a compact volume which is located in the middle of the building. This volume gives the feeling that it is suspended. We kept the initial proportions of the existing buildings. Although it seems as a two floor building, it is in fact a double high ground floor level. A pergola is created for the building, above which, there is the vertical blind structure. With our architectural intervention we unify the two elements in one volume, which was one of the main aims of the project. Still though, someone could say that the frame of initial building is visible through the new structure. Despite the new form, the initial buildings are maintained and they are united with the vertical blind structure and the central new entrance. Taking advantage of the double high of the accessory building, we created a central entrance where the reception area is placed. The main idea for the interior was the creation of volumes-boxes of different sizes, which stick to the floor or are suspended in the space.

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.
