project title:

Housing in Kefalonia

location:

1

description:

In this project we worked on a realistic basis, as if it was going to be built.

The plot belongs to a friend who consulted us for a proposal. HIs request was for three guest houses that could accommodate a family or single persons that usually come to the island of Kefalonia for long term vacations.

We tried to take advantage and highlight all of the natural features of the plot, always keeping in mind that the new buildings should fit the natural surrounding. We also followed the laws and registrations that the municipality has imposed within the borders of traditional settelments, but in a way that they didn’t restrict us from making our own suggestion about the marriage of old and new.

diploma project / synthesis designed in: 2015 colaboration: Marilena Ellinikaki

As the law imposes, but also out of respect to the physiognomy of the island w created 3 two-store volumes following the traditional morphology. We kept them as minor as possible, given the size of the plot.

We were inspired by the retaining walls that people have built accross the island to create flat surfaces on the leaning ground in order to cultivate it.

This allowed us to “hide� the main spaces of the habitances and to treat them more freely in a morphological and functional way.

As a resault we managed to protect the northern facades from the cold winds and give each residence privacy and open spaces, all with access to the view.

project title:

Transitional Landscapes

location:

description:

Dealing with the problem of underexposed areas in the boundaries of big cities, we had to propose a strategic plan for new usages and the creation of new social bondings for both the inhabitants and visitors of the area.

Abandoned intustrial facilities, the central bus station of the city, cultivated or totally neglected pieces of land, small craft intustries and also marginalized and homeless people compose the physiognomy of the area.

Instead of creating a plan for the entire examined land, we chose to “activate” only some cores by desinging or restorating existing facilities for habitance, markets, cultural events, proposing usages from and for the new neighborhoods that hopefully will be risen, always including the present users of the area . It was very important for us to prevent, by making a long-term plan , that these people are “exiled” , as usually, through the process of gentrification.

our intention is to attract excisting and new groups of people initially in two cores of activities. Each of them includes a complete circle of activities: residence, employment and trade.

project title:

Restoration of Historical Shells

location:

13

description:

The camp of Pavlou Mela is one of the biggest vacant spaces of Thessaloniki. It has great possibilities of becoming one huge green park, though today is still a ‘no man’s land’. Within the spirit of reviving the camp, we were assigned to restore and propose new usages for three of the historical shells that compose the building complex of the camp.

Originally built as stables in the Othoman period, these three buildings were used as concentration camps during the 2nd world war and as prisons for the years right after it.

The degree of intervention was determined by the following criteria : - Respect of the historicity of the shell, which is associated with the typological and morphological characteristics but also with the “image “ that has shaped the collective memory.

- The requirements of the new use and whether they verify a certain compatibility with the shell.

- The safety of the users and the protection of the historical shells.

project info:

designed in: 2012 colaboration: Maria Palaiologou, Irene Sfiri, Elli Pappa

The total of the three buildings have generally common pathology . Factors that definitely have an impact in disrepair historical shell is the natural aging and exposure to the weather, as well as several vandalism . However, larger in extent and quality damage caused by fires for all three buildings .

These fires resulted in the complete destruction of roofing stables A and C and partial , almost half of the roofing of the stable B. The layers of internal coatings have largely disintegrated . Corresponding damage are presented at the external coatings centered to the respective openings of the masonry .

The wooden frames have survived in a few instances of buildings A and B in poor condition .

The main body of the original masonry to all three buildings , despite local human interventions with openings and reinforced concrete, shows no particular damage. The static mode and the bearing capacity of masonry assessment that has not been affected .

14

With proper design, the compatibility of new uses with historical shells is possible. Similarly it is possible to create outward public workplaces in direct contact with the open space and the integration with atriums within the boundary that forms the main body of masonry.

15

Using the existing masonry as operational limit and the typology of the stables as synthetic idea , where the central element is the grid of the apartments, we created a metal structural system which compartmentalizes the offices of the professionals and houses them alongside the buildings . The metal columns receive loads of steel beams , which in turn rely on a perimetric bountreli running across the walls on the inside and is the only element that ‘ hooks ‘ to it, without hurting the existing masonry.

In order to accommodate the new uses, we exploit the possibilities offered by modern housing and the height of the stables and add a second floor in both buildings, where the offices will be staged. The lofts are communicating from the ground floor spaces with an internal staircase and to each other with small corridors.

The main building is the building B due to its central location in the union of the axes Davaki , Lagada and link the complex with the old town hall and square . It’s the only of the three building which retains part of the original roofing. Exhibition space, cafeteria, conference hall and a library are housed here.

We wanted to distinct the differentiation of the new roof with the old , but also to highlight the axis which unites the three buildings. Therefor, we designed a glass construction with metal frame , which extends across the building and opens a new input to better serve the users .

A wooden zig-zag path cuts across the building and emphasizes the new architectural element , that appears also on the design of building’s surroundings.

project title:

Health Center

location:

19

description:

We were asked to design the vassel for a primary health center in one of the peripherical municipalities of the city of Thessaloniki. Τhe plot we were given is located in a mountainous settlement, opposite a fully equipped hospital, with the outpatient clinics of which our center will cooperate. Μain features of the plot are the intense slope, the rich vegetation and the panoramic view it offers due to its altitude. Τhe center is to be used, not only for receiving medical incidents, but also for spreading preventive health methods. Presentations, open discussions and meetings can take place in a specially designed hall of the building program, open to the people of the municipality.

project info:

synthesis designed in: 2012-2013 colaboration: Evgenia Tselektsidou

Our main concern was our building to be accessible for all, both from the northern and the southern road that serve our plot. We wanted to create a playful composition, far different from the institutionalized and cold environment of a hospital. Our building is permeable, in the mean that there is a constant flow of movement from one entrance of the building to the other. We tried to adopt elements of existing vegetation in our synthesis and use environmentally friendly materials.

Messestand-Digitales_Familienministerium Description: In cooperation with the Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend we have designed a mobile exhibition that was aimed to inform the public on the digitisation projects of the german government. The stands should be easy to be built and transfered. Since the exhibition would be hosted in different places, we were asked to think of it in three different versions: with a coverage of 30sqm, 17 and 10. The exhibition should be accesible to everyone and a special area for kids’ creative activities was ordered by the customer.

Exploration of space posibilities

Accessibility was a decisive factor for the design.

Basic design principal The stands were designed with a supplementary principle.

They could “buckle� together in the case of a small coverage posibility and for transportation.

27

The table for kids’ activities is also adjustable to the circumnstances.

In the summertime the outer shell blinds remain open, so that the produced hot air from the refrigerators function is released towards the outside. At the same time, the inner shell blinds remain closed in order to prevent the air circulation on this side of the construction, while the roof window ofers further more cooling.

In the winder time the outer shell blinds remain closed in order to imprison the hot air that is produced by the function of the refrigerators. At the same time, the inner blinds open so that the hot air can circulate in the room, adding to the warm temperature. The window roof can stay closed.
