The addition to an existing one-storey residence in the center of Athens is pushed towards the street elevation

and arranged vertically in order for the tightly enclosed back garden to still receive natural daylight. The central part is topped by a curved roof that connects the old structure with its 3rd floor addition, forming a 3-floors-high void that becomes the center of the house. The diversity of elements from different architectural traditions and environments, in combination with the pixelated outline of the existing structure, the narrow plot and the fragmented garden create a living experience surprisingly rich in spatial qualities and conditions.
