17b Pinotsi St, Filopappou, Athens, 1978-80

Atelier ’66:
Dimitris Antonakakis (1933-),
Souzana Antonakakis (1935-)



The three-storey house owned by scholar Pavlos Zannas, a work designed by the founders of Atelier ’66 Dimitris and Suzana Antonakakis, is a characteristic expression of so-called "critical regionalism". It is near the ring road around Filopappou Hill, on the stepped sidewalk of a picturesque neighbourhood in old Athens.
The house was erected in the row-building system and includes three apartments with independent entrances. The main residence is on five levels. The interior is organised freely around a complex hall, while the relations between private and public functions and open-closed areas are meaningful on many levels.
This complexity is expressed on the façade that is treated with a plastic disposition and vocabulary that includes elements of traditional origin. The materials used are unplastered concrete, stucco and wood.
