The residential building in Kifisia develops in four levels above the ground. The exterior living spaces, ground floor surroundings and balconies, develop in a way to provide privacy to its users. At the same time they create multiple focal points and viewing angles for both indoor and outdoor spaces. The inner building core remains rational and structurally intact by the playfulness of the outer envelope. It provides functional space for three individual three-bedroom apartments and a smaller studio at the top level of the building.
The shape and skin of the residential building in Kifisia, aim to reconcile the natural elements (trees, earth, water) with the artificial elements of the human structure. Textured plaster surfaces, wooden details and abundant vegetation along the outline of the residential building, define the buildings character. All of them aim to create a sense of naturalistic artifact in the scale of a real-life building. Overall, the design elements, details and the ambience of the project as a whole, aim to serve as a unifying concept of harmonious integration of the technical creation into the natural environment.
