“Mh17 Memorial + Park Competition” Proposal 2 – Amsterdam / Netherlands
Initial inspiration originated by the tip of the airplane wings.The wing became a monumental space that cuts the island in two with all names of the victims engraved on the inside. The monument is an elongated corridor with intensely narrow width and big height.The experience of the monument escalates with controlled access of sunlight and the sound of water from underneath. The exit from the wing brings the visitor back to hope and optimism.The geometry of the landscape relates to a natural flow, which comes as a reminder of how vulnerable the human essence is. Creating a dialog between the monument and the river the landscape allows the tide to flood and reshape it.

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.
