Colossus of Maroussi

A remodeling-renovation project of a residential complex. The preserved buildings on the plot depict two different conditions found in the suburb of Maroussi. The backyard building relates to the pre-war Maroussi with the small farms and the flowery gardens, while the street building relates to the post-war Maroussi and the subsequent residential development of the suburbs. The central gate, or the Entry Stoa, is the core of the entire complex, an element that not only constitutes a new common area, but also links the two previous conditions.
