Sculptural Bench

Skystation

Skystation is an interactive sculpture that also provides some public seating. The contours of the work are designed to fit the reclining human form and encourage contemplation of the sky. The seating it provides is similar to what NASA calls Neutral Body Posture, which is the shape the body returns to when free from the influence of gravity. Skystation creates an opportunity for pause, reflection and interaction within the public realm. It is inspired by the modernist idea of form follows function. It has the incidental effect of making conversations between strangers almost inevitable.

Minion

The project is the redesign of an abandoned iconic retail building in Athens. The proposal is a mix use development, comprising of retail, office and residential functions. Each use has its own special feature. The retail has the iconic entrance and a fully glazed façade on street level, the offices have the protruding glass cube meeting room with views of the Parthenon and an emblematic glass cube corner entrance while the residential entrance is located in the central courtyard as a continuation of the adjacent pedestrian street, in line with the overall urban planning logic of the area.

Vacation House

The Circus

This vacation home is designed as a retreat for a car-loving client and friends, centered around the concept of spending time with cars. Unlike typical homes with garages, the goal was to create a relaxed environment that blurs the boundaries between people, cars, and rooms. The circular design allows for flexibility and accommodates multiple layouts, as it has no dead-ends and allows for free movement throughout the first story. The client's desire for a house that could be used in various ways gave rise to this extreme version of impracticality often sought in vacation homes.

A large-scale three-dimensional metal weaving system is adopted, which reflects the production process and fabric properties of men's clothing on the facade. Within the interior of the concept store, the whole space language simulates the phenomena in nature, creating an immersive place for the visitors. Throughout the store, the woven diagrid language creates unity through its varied expression and implementation as detail.

Residential House

Cross

A private residence built on a site facing two roads in a quiet residential area. The exterior, which can be seen from the outside, has an orderly form, ensuring a moderate sense of openness while protecting the privacy of the residents. The interior is moderately open and has a visual expanse. In addition, in accordance with the shape of the site, the two planes intersect at different angles in the center, and the space created here gently connects the rooms. A new blank space is created by appropriately dividing the plane, and the plan is to deepen communication between residents.
