Mh17 Memorial + Park Competition 1

298 monolithic stone volumes, which incerase their height, forming an inclined surface, compose the memorial structure. One monolith for each person lost. Between them there is a grid of narrow paths, that lead to a central glade, which is shaped like the imprint of the airplane as it appeared on the radar. The memorial is surrounded by a park that overlooks the river and the city beyond, consisting a place to value life, forgive and forget, in comparison to the memorial, which is the place of remembrance and introspection.

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.
