Project Description

Located in a quiet neighborhood of Athens, this residential building is designed to meet the needs of two families, combining two distinct living entities into a cohesive yet autonomous structure. The design incorporates two separate circulation cores arranged around a small central atrium, ensuring privacy and independence for each family while fostering a subtle sense of connection. The living spaces include both duplexes and floor apartments, providing flexibility and diversity in layout.

The building occupies a small footprint, allowing for generous garden areas that enhance the connection to nature. Two car lifts provide access to underground parking, eliminating the need for space-consuming car ramps and maximizing the site’s usability.

The façade reflects the duality of the project, with shading elements that provide privacy, optimize sunlight, and contribute to a balanced and refined architectural character. The structural design enables large, open floor plates free of interior beams, resulting in seamless, continuous ceilings that enhance spatial flow and flexibility in interior layouts. Atop the building, an open roof terrace offers expansive views of Athens, creating a serene and shared space above the city.
