Aegean Concrete: 8 Greek Homes Rethinking the Vernacular

by Eric Baldwin

«Residence in Kifissia. An austere concrete prism, this residential project was centrally supported as a volume balanced above the ground. Metallic columns combine with a net of ropes and a shell of plants that define indoor and outdoor spaces between the concrete living areas».

«Residence in Heraklion. Designed around light, this linear home is located in the city of Heraklion close to the city center. Featuring a fair-faced concrete volume that functions as a shelter that connects to a tensed inox-rope fence. Bent by the sun, the building emerges from its Cretan context with a structural design inseparable from the form itself».
