About Cascading Terraces 주거용 아파트는

개념의 개발은 사이트의 경계와 움직임을 다루면서 즉각적인 맥락의 특별한 성격과 대화하면서 사이트의 한 면에 평행하게 연결된 두 개의 볼륨을 기반으로 합니다. 자연 환경에서 건축 환경으로의 전환이 시각적, 개념적 관계 시스템을 구축함에 따라 단지는 방향, 전망, 바람 방향 및 경관의 계절적 변화에 반응하여 열리거나 닫히며 매번 다른 모습으로 발전합니다. 건축 공간에 본질적으로 영향을 미치는 매개변수.

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.
