Krinellia Organics, Kalloni / Lesvos
The project is about a small industrial building in Krinellia position, located near Kalloni, in Lesvos island. The building will house the processing of local herbs and spices, an activity that has flourished in the area for hundreds of years. We designed a building with metal static load carrier and elements of reinforced concrete, surrounded by a second skin of local stones, a symbolic gesture to show how the new building emerges from the old one. The building itself consists of three volumes. The main one, defined by its gabled roof, houses the packaging, the retail shop, the testing and workshop areas and the new offices of the company, while the other two volumes have the dryer room and the storage areas.
In an effort to reduce its energy footprint and meet the future needs of the building, we tried to ensure its sustainable character through the rain water collection and the use of solar panels.

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.
