House in Mets, PALY Architects

The building is situated in the borders of the historic center of Athens in a very small terrain with a preservable building in the front. The basic objectives were:

  • The development of the buildings around an internal yard in order for the different architectural forms of the preservable building and the addition to be clearly distinguished
  • The exploitation of the natural light to its fullest
  • The creation of interior gardens and skylights in order to facilitate the circulation of fresh air
  • The unification of the everyday functions by situating on the ground floor the kitchen, dining room and sitting room with a view and access to the internal yard.

 

On the basement part of an ancient monument (350 B.C) was discovered and preserved.

Construction materials: painted truffaut plaster, carved masonry, limestone, natural colored wood, galvanized metal elements.
