Regain the lost experience of the creek To see a world in a grain of sand A heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour W.Blake
It is a one bedroom house next to a creek. The location < Filothei > is a 'garden city' suburb of Athens. The attempt is to create enclosed space in-between walls, parallel to the boundaries of the site, which embody the lost water experience of the creek. Taking advantage of the microcosm the flora and fauna of the creek, sounds, smell, sight, the aim is to constitute a space, an open air room, which creates the feeling of living by the water. The sense of enclosure is the basic factor of the hole synthesis, thus the choice of the materials serve the same aim, concrete, teak, marble, stones, anodized aluminum. The ground floor is 150sq m. It is a one bedroom house with kitchen sitting room and dining room at the ground floor 150sq.m.while the basement houses the gym, the steam room and the guest room.
