这栋位于雅典郊外富人区中的住宅有着极大的灵活自由性。可以将房屋看成由三个区域组成：一个如同雅典围城那样的岩石外围，一个饱览城市胜景的楼层，以及两者之间的通透生活区。

组织各种紧张与冲突的要素：透与不透，亲密与开放，棱角的线条和曲线，形成一系列让人惊喜的兴奋点。石材表皮以内的流线型空间是宜人的家庭港湾。外面温馨的庭院有一个贯通基地的游泳池。大理石的车库还兼做主人的车辆收藏场地以及现代艺术展示场所。百叶窗调节进入居住空间的光线。有着众多缝隙和悬挑的建筑具有雕塑般的品性。悬在半空中的卧室就能够饱览雅典壮丽景色。

This private residence in Psychiko, an affluent suburb of Athens, was designed for maximum freedom of movement and flexibility. The house is divided into three distinct zones: a stone core inspired by the defensive rock of the Acropolis, an amphitheatrical upper floor, imagined as a pair of binoculars framing the expansive city views, and a transparent living area that occupies the space between them. Each zone is connected through a notional ribbon running through the site.

A series of surprises playing with light and scale, the design exploits the tension between conflicting elements – opaqueness and transparency, intimacy and openness, curves juxtaposed with angular geometry. In contrast with the fluid interior, the external wall is clad in stone, sheltering the residence from the surrounding buildings. This boundary peels away to create an intimate garden that opens up to the neighbouring house, which belongs to the same family. The sweeping arc of the external wall is echoed by the swimming pool, a canal that connects the front and back of the house. With an entrance camouflaged in the stone wall, the marble garage doubles as a gallery for the owners’ collection of vintage cars and modern art. Glazed partitions, skylights, and slatted blinds allow natural light to penetrate the open-plan living spaces. A series of cuts and slits in the sculptural façade bring the outside in. Located on the first floor, the bedrooms are suspended in mid-air, with picture windows that frame the spectacular view across Athens. The effect is like standing on the edge of a diving board ready to plunge into the cityscape.
