Bicubic Residence

Bicubic Residence is situated in Athens’ western suburban area, nestled on a relatively tranquil crossroad within a strictly residential neighborhood, boasting mild traffic. Comprising two primary volumes, it amalgamates into a unified structure, connected by the staircase volume, facilitating the transition between the living room and bedroom areas of each residence.

Two main curved bearing walls elevate the structure above ground level, while also extending a welcoming gesture to visitors, guiding them towards the main staircase area. The journey from the property’s entrance to the main door is enhanced by various spatial qualities, including a slender but expansive water feature with reflective properties, alongside a pebble-filled area on the right side, perfect for a swing or outdoor seating.

The roof follows the same curvilinear design principles, promoting user-friendliness and fostering a serene spatial ambiance. The facade is adorned with rows of wooden shaders, providing an ever-changing aesthetic and offering versatile shading options to cater to users’ preferences. These shaders can be adjusted to be fully open, partially closed, or completely shut, on one or both levels, adding a dynamic and playful aspect to the overall architectural impression.
