Tokyo Fashion Museum – Proposal B
The main design idea was based on the concept of window displaying, the final and foremost destination of all the beautiful pieces created by the fashion industry. Thus, there is a clear parallelism between the museum’s exhibition areas and the window displays of the best fashion houses of the world. Considering the fact that the main principal of the window displaying philosophy is that you only expose certain pieces that will intrigue the viewer and attract him to the inside, we designed an outer shell to cover or reveal certain parts of the building’s main core, which houses all the structure’s function and activities. Considering the plot’s small area, the entire museum’s circulation takes part vertically, through elevator shafts and a main root of escalators, revolving around the core allowing access to each exhibition level and simulating a pleasant stroll through fashion’s history, design and window displays.

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.
