The house, built on a sloping 130sqm site, close to Saint David’s Church in Thessaloniki Old Town, is developed on three levels plus basement, covering a total of 350sqm. It consists of three units: a) the “base”, containing the basement with the storage and boiler rooms and the ground floor with the library, the study room, a small courtyard and the entrance with the garage b) the main front volume of the building covered with semi-transparent wooden shutters and containing part of two upper floors of the house, with the living and dining rooms as well as the master bedroom and the main balcony on the second floor and c) the northern part of the house, which functions as a background and consists of the guestroom and kitchen on the firsts floor and the children bedroom with its balcony on the second floor as well as of the auxiliary spaces on all floors. The residence is characterized by a grid of wooden shutters that acts as a sun-protective element to both crucial orientations (south and west) without obstructing the magnificent view towards the sea and mount Olympus. The light penetrates the house all the way down, unifying the different levels, through a “fault” which divides the main volumes of the house. The transparent tiles of the roof, which invite the sunlight in, are placed in the northeastern orientation in order not to create a green house effect. The proposed residence has been selected and included in “The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture” 2004 (among the 1.000 best building worldwide of the period 1999 – 2004)
