The stack
Sky living. A home organized by altitude: service below, bedrooms in the quiet, and shared life lifted toward the view.
Invert the familiar house.
The higher you rise, the more open and shared the home becomes.
Residence 24 turns the usual domestic arrangement upside down. Rather than place the living room at the entrance and bedrooms above, it raises the social heart of the house to the upper level, where the rooms meet the broad views over Vouliagmeni.
This inversion sets the project’s central order. Parking, storage and service are absorbed into the basement. The entrance and garden establish the ground level. Bedrooms occupy the quieter middle floors, while the living room, dining room and kitchen gather higher up, close to the sky terrace.
A skylight carries daylight down through the interior and makes the vertical route perceptible from within. It gives the house a shared center without making every floor identical: each level has its own degree of privacy, light and connection to the outdoors.
From the street, the building reads as one continuous face folding around this sequence. Its stepped volumes, terraces and screens shape a changing silhouette while holding the separate functions together as a single residence.
Quiet below.
Open above.
The section is the project’s organizing device. It places the practical and private parts of domestic life lower in the building, then lifts the shared rooms toward light and long views. The rooftop terrace completes that ascent as an open-air room.
This hierarchy gives the house two complementary conditions: protected spaces for retreat and a bright upper level for everyday gathering. Movement between them follows the skylight, which brings the sky into the center of the plan
A continuous form, shaped by use.
The architecture gathers a range of domestic settings into a continuous, folded composition. The street-side entrance introduces the house at a human scale; deeper inside, the courtyard and terraces open the volume to daylight and planted space.
At the upper level, long views become part of the daily routine. The living spaces are set out to share this outlook, while the roof terrace extends that shared room into the open air. Below, the bedrooms remain more contained, with carefully placed openings connecting them to balconies and garden views.
Vertical screens, deep edges and layered terraces give the façade depth. These elements modulate sunlight and privacy while marking the shifts between the house’s public, shared and intimate zones. The building’s form is therefore both an image and an explanation: a legible outer face for the vertical life within.
