The Design
About Cascading Terraces Residensiële Woonstelle
Die ontwikkeling van die konsep is gebaseer op twee gekoppelde volumes parallel aan die een kant van die terrein, in dialoog met die besondere aard van die onmiddellike konteks, wat die terreingrense en beweging aanspreek. In reaksie op die oriëntasie, uitsigte, windrigting en die seisoenale veranderinge van die landskap, gaan die kompleks oop of sluit, en ontwikkel elke keer 'n ander voorkoms, aangesien die oorgang van die natuurlike na die beboude omgewing 'n sisteem van visuele en konseptuele verhoudings tot stand bring. en parameters wat inherent die argitektoniese ruimte beïnvloed.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- The development of the concept is based on two linked volumes parallel to one side of the site, in dialogue with the particular nature of the immediate context, addressing the site boundaries and movement. Responding to the orientation, views, wind direction and the seasonal changes of the landscape, the complex opens up or closes, developing each time a different appearance.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Approximate Total Building Area: 4580 square meters

- Production Technology
- In terms of materiality, raw concrete and white textured render are prominent in the building skin and fencing, developing a simple yet effective language. This approach, as expressed here spatially, implies materiality, temperature, density, weight and acoustic qualities, elements that are abstract but are derived from thorough experience.
- Design Challenge
- This emergent microcosm provides an intricate experience based on the dynamics between the man-made and the natural, the point of focus and the background, the familiar and the unknown, triggering sensations and emotions that capture the moment. Throughout this journey, experiences, spaces and materialities converge, either as parallel or as complimentary events.
- Research
- The arrangement addresses a series of choreographed views of the landscape and is organized in public and private zones towards the landscape-via the terraces- and towards the site. A series of cascading terraces is developed resembling F.L. Wright Fallingwater. The design also considers the play of light on the textured surfaces, the depth of color, the manipulation of the form and the overall aesthetic qualities.
- Inspiration
- The design approach prioritizes the utilization of the main view which opens up towards the SW and NW due to the site s location and topography of the suburb of Kifissia. The internal arrangement attempts to address a series of carefully choreographed views of the landscape and is organized in public and private zones that are extrovert towards the landscape, via the terraces, and introvert towards the site. This results in a series of cascading terraces at a slight angle with each other.
- Project Duration
- Design: 2021
Location: Athens, Greece - Operation Flow
- The overall design approach was not preoccupied by a certain aesthetic correctness, but first and foremost to establish as a key parameter, the potential of a multi-sensory experience between the building and the landscape, and also aiming at the substantiation of individuality in architecture through the expression of the architectural object.
