Apartment Building Pentelis28

Apartment Building Pentelis28
Costas Kontos

An Urban Residential Complex

This condominium building consists of seven apartments, two of which are two-storied penthouses. The site is long and narrow and faces a public square. The building is placed along the diagonal axis which materializes as a concrete wall upon which several volumes are attached.

That way, all apartments -even at the back- have view to the square and to the landscaped garden of the property. The building is broken into two main volumes, connected through a common staircase, steel and glass, mass. The front volume is kept as low as possible in order to appear as a private house -it belongs to the land owner family- and to allow for the back volume to have better views, ventilation and sunshine.

An elemental Bauhaus language is chosen (plastered solid volumes in different tonalities, corner or horizontal openings, parapets with horizontal metal sections at some balconies) which is underlined with contemporary counterpoints (u-glass on two-story architectural projections of the duplex apartments’ staircases, glass parapets without frames).
