About Serrated Transparency Batisman Biwo

Batisman biwo a sitiye nan Ellinikon ak vi lanmè san obstak. Kontou batisman an prezante yon fòm trapez ki etann sou teren an epi ki adrese kwen pwominen an. Espas la pèsevi kòm yon chan fòs kote espas delimite a konteste pa òganizasyon estriye fasad la, gide pa vi yo vè lanmè a, oryantasyon solèy la, sa ki lakòz yon ekspresyon soutile dinamik konplèks ki genyen ant yo. Konsèp la envestige lis la ak estriye a nan yon chan pi laj, ak diferan degre transparan ki enplike pa fasad prensipàl dentle a.

Press Kit

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.

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.
