In a suburb of Athens, nestled in a pine forest, stands a disused, neglected and damaged office building. Designed in the 1970s by the renowned architect, Alexandros Tombazis, this building represents a fine example of the controversial mid 20th century Brutalist movement.

This radical design project on a two level home was undertaken by the Architect, Anastasia Filippeou and completed in 2019. Originally built in the 1930’s, this home has remained in the same family for three generations. The once homely structure has been transformed into a grander version of its former self while retaining its inherent character.

With its ‘hourglass corral,’ DECA architecture completes the latest addition to an evolving series of residences on the greek island of milos. the project, intrinsically molded by the natural conditions of its site, seeks to introduce a sensitive and sustained attention to the local tradition and the celebrated landscape. sun-drenched and cooled by sea breezes, the impressive work of architecture is sunken beneath the level of the ground plane. the dwelling, which has four south-facing bedrooms, forms part of the ‘voronoi’s corrals’ — a larger territory the architects have been designing for the last ten years. with its green roof, the project aims to generate a dialogue between architecture and nature, logical geometry and organic wilderness.
