ELLINICON 4: A NEW A+ ENERGY EFFICIENT APARTMENT BUILDING

It is the fourth complex of houses that AXIACON builds in Kato Hellinicon suburb, which was first inhabited by the Helinikiotes, Greeks from Asia Minor. It is located at the junction of 11 Proti str. and Vita str.

“Every house, every single family home with two and a half thousand hectares with a well and a windmill, had a gardener, and one or two maids. I remember there was a contest for who had the most beatiful garden” > Manos M. Markoglou, writter (Hellinikiotis).

With widespread plantings both in the yards and in balconies and roofs, our new project acts as a bridge with the garden-town of the past. Aiming to compensate for a limited ground area, we built the gardens vertically.

The diversity of the gardens in combination with the sound of running water in the entrance of the complex create a sensation of relaxation and invigoration.

DESIGN APPROACH

After a lot of thought we chose the solution of two five storey buildings in a Γ shape, with unobstructed views and privacy for all the apartments. One building has two apartments per floor, and the other, one apartment per floor.

The positioning of the living areas in the apartments is linear. Entrance – kitchen – dinning room – living room, and consecutive openings towards the balconies with a view to the sea and the communal yard of the complex.

Beyond the aesthetics, we have given great focus on the security and A+ class energy strategy of the building, accompanied with the necessary automations for smart and green living, in order to accomplish a safe and sustainable result.
