hallo everyone
i am also in...
this project is not a real one, at least not yet...
in fact it is not a real building but it is a real project.
so, i have a friend [a real one] who recently asked me to design his house at the countryside in north greece.
the house should be really small [ about 50 sqm ] and really low budget [ guess most of you are familiar with the economic crisis in greece ] and also made in such way to block electromagnetic radiation as the project site is close to a radar used by the nearby airport.
as the site is on a slight slope i designed two versions of concrete houses buried from the one side [ in order to block, in a way, the radiation ] , really similar to each other only with diffrent orientation.
as long as he wasn't able to choose his version, i took the decision to realize both of them through this competition.
so, i was looking for a way to connect them morphologically and conceptually.
the thing is that me and this guy used to skateboard together as young students and always dreamed of a skateramp, a dream never come true as there were no money for such a construction and the local authorities in greece never payed attention to such aspects.
since architectural visualization is more or less what we dream of, i finally connected the two houses with a concrete miniramp, suposing that the one house is for him and the second one for visitors... like me!
another aspect of this concept is that this guy is a carpenter so most of the furniture have to be handmade by wood
below you can see the plans of the houses, reference photos of miniramps founded on the internet and the first model of it.
this project is dedicated to my friend - i really hope that he's going to make that true since he is about to build it almost by himself...
good luck to everybody!
