Χρίστος Παύλου Αρχιτεκτονική - Το Σπίτι-Κήπος στην Πόλη / Christos Pavlou Architecture - The Garden House in the City
p
p
The ground floor is an area that makes the architecture and the
landscape meet through open spaces. The open ground floor enables
you to connect with the surroundings and the house tends
to concentrate on the outer spaces, the long covered deck, the
garden, the public park and the distant visibility of the city and
surrounding parks. Ground floor consists of a living/dining area,
a separate kitchen and a small wc but on the first floor there
are two bedrooms. The layout of the bedrooms are very much
decided by the wish of the client that all rooms should have direct
access to the green terrace and enjoy views of the city and
Pentadaktilos mountain. The master bedroom is separated from
the rest of the house by means of the double height volume of
the atrium. As one moves from one room to another follows the
longitudinal axis which runs parallel to the panorama of the city ,
the gardens and the nearby parks. Provisions were made so that
two more bedrooms, one on ground floor and another one on
upper floor, may build in the future when need arises but without
disturbing the main facades or gardens. Baboon planting was
used to form a visual barrier between the fully glazed staircase
and the three story block of flats that overlooks the house on the
west side.
