On a flat site in a narrow, quiet Psychiko road, the architectural study’s main aim was to create a residence with maximum privacy. To achieve that, the building turned inwards to the site, forming an atrium with a swimming pool in direct contact to the ground floor. The building’s vocabulary is rather simple and reflects its structure. There are three composing elements: the façade’s exposed concrete, the coated first floor surfaces and the perforated metal construction on the ground floor with wide glass panels. The residence is comprised of three levels. The ground floor is occupied by the sitting and dining areas and is separated by the kitchen via two wooden panels. All areas face inwards, with the exclusion of the sitting’s ending, whose three sides are framed by glass panels, giving the impression of being in the middle of a garden; metal supporting pillars are visible on two of its corners. The low double sided fireplace is designed so that it does not obstruct the views to the garden and pool. The first floor level contains three bedrooms and a study-guestroom. The master bedroom also faces the garden and pool with a blind side to the road, occupied by the wardrobe through to the bathroom. All first floor bedroom openings are shaded by a vertical 20cm wide movable louvres system. The roof terrace, accessible via the central staircase, opens outwards with unobstructed surrounding views. The basement has a five car parking capacity, as well as a gym and auxiliary spaces.
