The starting point for this project was a long, dual-access site in the northern suburb of Vrilissia. The design responds with two distinct residential buildings placed back-to-back, each addressing a different street while maintaining a shared architectural language.
The volumes are arranged as clean horizontal forms defined by deep balconies and exposed concrete slabs. Fixed wooden vertical elements provide rhythm, shading and privacy, while timber handrails introduce a warm, tactile detail. Planters and greenery soften the outlines, adding texture to the minimal geometry.
The apartments vary in layout and orientation, offering ground-level residences with private gardens and pools, upper-floor units with generous balconies, and top-floor homes with access to private terraces. Each apartment benefits from natural light and views, while preserving privacy across neighboring units.
The material palette is simple and honest, centered on raw concrete, timber and metal. Planted balconies and recessed gardens are integrated into the design, bringing greenery into the refined rhythm of the buildings and softening their relationship to the street.
Designed with attention to scale, natural light and privacy, the complex offers a contemporary living environment that integrates domestic comfort with architectural coherence: an approach that reconsiders multi-residential typologies within the evolving Athenian landscape.
