This house is built on a steeply sloping hill overlooking the eastern Attica basin. It includes a ground floor, first floor, roof and two basements.
The ambassador’s residence is laid out as follows: the ground floor includes the living, dining and kitchen areas; on the first floor and roof are the bedrooms and guest suite. The first basement contains parking areas and a taverna, and the second basement contains the service areas. And finally entrance to the courtyard and pool is by stairs from the first basement.
Owing to the usage and demands of the owner, a conservative design was followed. The architectural solution succeeded in utilising the sloping lot well. All spaces open onto large balconies, taking advantage of the view overlooking the eastern Attica basin. The thoughtful details that characterise the construction in conjunction with the correct use of materials – visible concrete, stone and rough stucco – create a successful building that is supplemented by the equally successful landscaping of the surrounding area.
