RESIDENCE RENOVATION AND EXPANSION, FILOTHEI, 2008
The project is about the renovation, strengthening and expansion of an existing 50-year old building. As this was of no particular aesthetic interest, it was decided to be radically changed in order to become a contemporary house for the needs of a five-member family.
The living and dining areas are located on the ground floor and the bedrooms on the first and second floors. Because of building restrictions in Filothei, expansion could only take place on the upper floors and not on the ground floor level.
The materials used on the facądes are: insulating plaster in two colours, dark-stained wood and bronzed- crystal panels. The semi-transparent wooden panels serve to protect the house from the southern and western sun.
