projects / residential / residence at Dionysos

residence at Dionysos , Athens .

architectural design, landscape design / construction ,

lighting design .

The residence is located in Dionysos , a woody suburb of Athens .

Design concept was the visual invasion of the forest in building's interior .

A straight axis visually links swimming pool and forest in front , with the woody and sloppy landscape at the rear .

The forest like character of the site maintained , minimizing changes of landform and planting .

Native plants (Arbutus , Pistacia ) added to strength the image.

Ramps and paths constructed by simple site materials ( stone , wood ) .

Very important is the outdoor lighting , selectively illuminating the natural landscape .
