Project description:

The H-H House residence is located on a medium plot with a small slope, within the settlement of Artemis, Attiki. The main design idea was the “introverted space”, driven by the fact that all the adjacent plots have already been built and were limiting the view to the sea.

The Π shape in plan was chosen to convey the concept of interiority and protection, as the sides of the Π allow the flow of movements, while at the same time enhancing the feeling of a coherent and protected environment. This particular form creates a semi-perimeter space leaving one side open to an interior garden. This interior garden functions as a courtyard, offering a semi-private outdoor environment that connects the indoors with the outdoors. This connection is achieved through the openings, which are placed in a way that reinforces the logic of introversion, by creating smaller openings to the street and larger openings to the interior of the plot and the green spaces. As a result, natural lighting and ventilation are utilized in the interior, improving the quality of living.

The peculiarity of the residence is that it also includes a recording studio, to serve the needs of the owner, who is a musician. The wing facing the street hosts the residential use and the wing facing the back yard the recording studio. The part that joins the two wings is a transitional space connecting the two uses.

An important element of the design was the uniform morphological treatment of the residence through the use of one material, concrete, for application to the entire surface of the outer shell.
