This contemporary 2-storey dwelling is defined by white chromatic planes, that intersect with glass planes, and a strongly defined black stone wall on the lower floor.

This black stone clad wall gives a very strong definition to the interiors of the house.

Due to a sharp unevenness of the land, the entrance of the house is made through the highest area of the plot, thus keeping the elevation of the house, in the lowest land area of the terrain.

The trivial housing program, comprises of the private areas on the upper floor of the house, and social areas on the lower floor, with a room that shares the space with the kitchen.

The massing designed in this manner creates a prominent volume in relation to the south street, thus guaranteeing greater privacy compared to the glazed area of the dwelling.
