‘the buildings would sit as PAVILIONS in a BIG GARDEN,
working together to form a stronger
and resilient ecosystem’
Plot F
The cluster consisting of Plot F with apartments is part of the
“Green-Coast II” complex, located on previously undeveloped
land, rich in ecosystems and very close to the coast of
the Ionian Sea. As such, this complex has been designed to
have minimal impact on the environment, while respecting
the terrain to the maximum.
morphology
Volumes are characterized by fragmented and reduced upper floors, always compared to the ground floors. A partial shading shelter is designed between the ground floor and the first floor. The rear of the ground floor is sunken and utilizing the influence of the topography allows for light and privacy. The premises of each floor maintain an undistrubed visual and physical relation to the oudoors.
concept
The residential building respects the existing terrain and extends
linearly along the topographic lines. The lower floors
are treated in the form of terraced podiums to adapt to the
slope of the terrain. The upper floors, treated as fragmented
cuboidal volumes, enable harmonization with other typologies
designed in this complex.
