Two residences complex, Ekali
Two residences complex, Ekali
The residential complex comprises two independent residences, each developed over three levels. This architectural project blends modern design principles with timeless elements, creating a sophisticated, enduring character. Located in Ekali, a prestigious suburb of Athens known for its lush greenery and low-density development, the residences are immersed in nature, with trees playing a central role in the overall experience. The architectural vision was to craft two independent homes where the boundaries between luxurious interiors and the outdoor environment are seamlessly blurred. This extends the living experience into the green, surrounding landscape.
Design approach
The complex features two luxury residences, each with its own private entrance, garden, and swimming pool. The design concept prioritizes absolute autonomy and privacy for the residents. Each home consists of two distinct volumes: dark-toned ground-floor structures form the base, with white upper-floor volumes that appear to slide gently, creating a dynamic architectural gesture. This design choice adds a unique character to the buildings’ form. The overhanging sections house expansive, linear balconies. Modern architectural lines emphasize clean forms, large openings, and premium materials. Natural materials like wood in combination with contemporary elements such as glass and metal, establish a harmonious dialogue of textures and colors that reinforce the project’s sleek, modern aesthetic.
Interior layout
Each residence spans three levels, designed to meet the needs of its inhabitants. The ground floor includes open-plan living areas, such as the living room, dining area, and kitchen, with large windows offering uninterrupted views of the garden and pool. The first floor is dedicated to the bedrooms, designed with comfort and privacy in mind. Large windows allow natural light to flood the interiors, while high-end material choices enhance the sense of luxury. The lower basement level includes auxiliary uses and parking.
Seamless indoor – outdoor connection
A defining feature of the project is the fluid relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. The expansive windows create a sense of continuity, visually and functionally connecting the interior with the surrounding gardens and courtyards. The management of natural light is a key element of the design as well. Sunlight permeats the entire building, enhancing the feeling of openness and clarity. The materials used reflect and amplify the light, creating a warm yet refined environment.
The private gardens of each residence are an integral part of the overall experience. Thoughtfully designed to ensure privacy, the outdoor spaces feature rich vegetation, paved paths, and pools that visually and functionally connect with the interiors. Around the pools, outdoor seating areas invite continuous use of the external spaces.
This architectural project exemplifies contemporary luxury and timeless design. Every aspect of the complex offers residents an experience that balances comfort and a strong connection to the natural environment.
By achieving perfect harmony between interior and exterior spaces, these residences transcend the concept of simple living spaces, offering a holistic luxury lifestyle.
With its refined aesthetics and thoughtful design, this project integrates seamlessly into its surroundings and sets a benchmark for high-end living, showcasing the best of modern architecture.
