H_25: Apartment Building, Glyfada, Greece
This building is situated in Glyfada, Greece, occupying a plot of 594.46 square meters.
A defining feature of the building is its vertical elements, which encircle the structure, serving both as architectural components and shading devices. These elements originate from the balcony edges, extending both vertically and horizontally.
Another notable aspect is the design of the balconies, which are isolated to impart a sense of openness to the overall architectural composition. The building’s form incorporates projections and recesses, while balcony lengths are adjusted to ensure the residents’ comfort. Large openings facilitate seamless integration between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Additionally, vertically repeating elements in the perimeter fencing, designed with a similar logic to shading elements, establish a clear boundary between public and private areas. This feature not only contributes to the building’s cohesive architectural language but also enhances environmental sustainability and aesthetic appeal within the surrounding urban environment, ultimately enhancing residents’ quality of life.
