Trondheim

trondheim (1)

The Masterplan suggests a series of carefully placed interventions that act as appendages to the former submarine bunker ‘Dora 1’:

Vienna

vienna (1)

The project accumulates the collective intelligence on housing, fusing it together into an implausibly rich whole.

Kalavrita House

11/09

The structure of the house was recently built in a small village in the mountains. The heavy wooden roof construction displeased the clients who asked for its camouflaging.

Kiafas house

09/09

The house is sited at the entrance to a village, surrounded by fields. Starting with the generic rectangular box of a suburban home the corners are carved away bringing light, ventilation and views into the centre of the house.

Polikatikia 1

09/09

polikatikia 1-01

On a triangular corner plot in a leafy area of Athens the client requested a study for a building of 4 apartments, one apartment per floor. Like four little villas on top of each other, two apartments were to be occupied the other two for sale.

Metaxourgio

09/09

The strategy is to focus on the two most critical levels of the city; the ground floor plane and the roof top level, to effect the injection of new architectural form to the area.

Mina House

01/09

mina-construction-3

From a distance Mina House appears like an ordinary building in the village of Plataea, resting under a pitched roof with the typical red tiles of the area. Upon closer inspection, the roof shelters walls and spaces that move freely beneath it.

Closet

01/09

closet (1)

The maximum conceivable volume of storage was inserted into an attic, from which utilitarian spaces were excavated. The result is a sculptural construction of varying spatial qualities in sharp contrast to the rest of the rectilinear space.

Kaminia Garden

12/08

kaminia garden (1)

The existing garden is rich in spatial qualities. The proposal enhances the existing conditions so that they acquire a clear, distinguishable identity.

Dafnes house

11/08

The house is in front of the beach close to a Greek city. The first volume frames the plot, while the second crosses it continuing the built volume of the neighboring construction.

Watersquare

06/07

watersquare-03

The project proposes a great number of typical and extraordinary water related activities along a dense network of public spaces around the water square, turning this into an active archipelago of potential identities.

Frames

06/07

The project exploits the unique condition of the site where nature is strongly present in two antithetic scales; vast forest and lake along three sides versus small pockets of remaining forest inside the territory.

Mintilogli house

04/07

mintilogli-2

This old house in a Greek village is listed; no windows or alterations can take place on its exterior. The proposal striped the interior of all constructions turning the house from two separate floors into a deep 4-floors-high void space where rooms and mezzanines are floating.
