Plural Living Conditions

The top is shaped as new hill topography that rolls over individual generous duplex apartments with ample exterior space, views of the city and lush vegetation, offering at the same time a new skyline to the city.

The need for a live/work space is growing. Flexible, glazed loft studio spaces are proposed for the middle floor. These spaces can be used for living or working and the partitions can be placed freely.

A new proposal for living conditions in Iassonos 1-15 acknowledges and restores the existing neoclassical houses. Taking clues from their scale and pattern, new townhouses with similar proportions are also proposed on the street level.
