Oxygen | Residential Complex in Maroussi

Eco-emotional living

The complex, covering a total area of 5,500m2, is the first residential building in Greece with an international BREEAM sustainability certification. It consists of 27 apartments with one, two, or three bedrooms, each one developed across one or two levels.

Design Philosophy

The building’s form is inspired by fundamental elements of nature, such as water, earth, and sky. Undulating surfaces on the facades create green spaces while simultaneously providing privacy to the residences. Y-shaped columns evoke tree trunks, emphasizing the building’s sustainable character.

Project Aim

Oxygen, after which the complex is named, represents the most essential element of nature, defining the quality of our lives. Similarly, the study aimed to apply architectural design that would offer holistic solutions in areas such as health and well-being, bioclimatic innovation through ecological materials and construction methods, and water and waste management.

Sustainable Design

Large window openings, private gardens on the ground floor, and spacious balconies with planters on upper levels enhance the quality of life and highlight the sustainable design, perceptible to residents not only through low energy consumption but also experientially. Features like awnings on the balconies, electric charging stations in each parking space, composting, and easy monitoring of home consumption through smart home systems and applications are some of the sustainability strategies encouraging residents to adopt a modern, ecological lifestyle.
