Education And Amusement Park In Spata Athens Greece
The area of Messoghia has been rapidly developing, partly due to the new Athens International Airport of Eleftherios Venizelos and the construction of Attiki Odos motorway as well as the suburban railroad. Areas that were traditionally focused on agricultural or tourist uses, like Spata, Kantza, Markopoulo, Porto Rafti, are now rapidly becoming urbanized and people from Athens move in to those areas. Spata is greatly favoured by all this, as it is essentially the centre of development. Both land value and population have increased exponentially in the last few years.
Today Spata is 10’ away from Pallini and less than 15’ from Aghia Paraskevi, which used to be the outskirts of the city a few years ago. The infrastructures of the area for commercial, leisure and other uses cannot meet the needs of so many new people. These needs shall be met by the new SPATA EDUCATION and AMUSEMENT AND CENTRE.
The park consists of a large indoor Aquarium, a shopping center and a multi cinema complex and it was designed to work as a whole along with the existing Attica Zoological Park.

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.
