The Design

About Serrated Transparency Oficeja Konstruaĵo

La oficeja konstruaĵo situas en Ellinikon kun senbaraj maraj vidaĵoj. La konstruaĵa konturo enkondukas trapezon, kiu vastiĝas super la tereno kaj traktas la elstaran angulon. La spaco estas perceptata kiel kampo de fortoj kie la konturita spaco estas disputata de la striata organizado de la fasado, navigata de la vidaĵoj al la maro, la orientiĝo de la suno, rezultigante subtilan esprimon de la kompleksaj dinamikoj inter ili. La koncepto esploras la glatan kaj la striatan en pli larĝa kampo, kun la variaj gradoj de travidebleco implicataj de la dentita ĉefa fasado.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The office building is located in Ellinikon facing Vouliagmenis Avenue with unobstructed views of the sea. The context is formed of new and older office and residential buildings, lacking architectural significance, and the local grain is relatively loose where the buildings have a lot of breathing space within their sites and significant green areas.
Dimensions & Packaging: The concept investigates the smooth and the striated in a broader field, with the varying degrees of transparency implied by the jagged, serrated main facade and how it filters the natural light and the views from and to the building.

Production Technology: Straight and curved glass sections form the serrated edge and reflect the light in different ways altering the transparency of the material from different angles, creating a dynamic, almost cinematic movement of the building as we engage it from the main street.
Design Challenge: The serrated facade also implies the relationship between built form and nature. How the building brings the green element inside, through the main atrium at first, and through the geometric ambiguity of its reflections, green, on the facade, making it part of the whole.
Research: The concept investigates the smooth and the striated in a broader field, with the varying degrees of transparency implied by the serrated main facade and how it filters the natural light and the views from and to the building. Straight and curved glass section form the serrated edge and reflect the light in different ways altering the transparency of the material, from different angles, creating a dynamic, almost cinematic movement of the building as we engage it from the main street.
Inspiration: The design approach for the proposed building is simple for the overall massing yet quite complex as the architectural intention entails a specific method for the development of the facade. The building outline introduces a simple geometry, that of a trapeze, which expands over the whole site and addresses the prominent corner. Clean lines for the floor layouts are proposed, perforated by a centrally positioned atrium. The smoothness of the plan is juxtaposed by the striation of the facade.
Project Duration: Location Εllinikon Athens Greece
Date 2024
Operation Flow: The space is perceived as a field of forces where the delineated space of the plan is contested by the striated organization of the facade, navigated by the views towards the sea, the orientation of the sun, resulting in a subtle expression of the complex dynamics between them.
