Competition Ac-Ca ” Amsterdam Iconic Pedestrian Bridge” Amsterdam Holland

A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed, the material used to make it and the funds available to build it.

Connecting edges – bringing people together – been landmark on its own…

First you look and wish to be on the other side…then you walk…you pass the obstacle… you are never the same person again

Bridges are bringing changes and mixing joining people and wishes

The way on the left… the sort way is half done is dedicated on the eye connection… the pleasure of the creation of a wish… the wish to go across…

The way on the right (THE RIGHT WAY) is long with no eye contact on the other side…it makes you think and doubt..but it leads on the other side of the river… of course you can stand on the bridge and enjoy a cup of coffee on the floating cafe.

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.
