Private residence at Melissia

The two storey residence of 150 sq.m is located in Melissia, Athens in a flat plot of 428,18 sq.m area. The residence’s daily living spaces can be found in its ground floor and the bedrooms are located in the first floor. The open ground floor plan results to a spacey living room with a fireplace and α kitchen that develops around an island counter, while allowing the visitor to move around without any “obstacles”. Meanwhile, the first floor is consisted of the master bedroom with an in-suite bathroom, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Each and every space has access to semi outdoor expansion. The ground floor’s semi outdoor expansions are defined by their covering with Deck wood planks, while the first floor each room has its own balcony. The west and east orientation of these openings not only enhances the outdoor way of living, but also accomplishes a well-adjusted entrance of natural sunlight in the interior. At the same time, the combination of the aforementioned openings with the balconies and the concrete pergola create interesting multi-leveled views. The materials used for the exterior surfaces’ coatings are karystos stone, iroko deck and vratsa marble plates. The building’s main colour is warm white.
