Pythagorean home amidst olive grove offers views &
protection this is a 2019 video, wondering how they're
doing now with the weather in Greece.
Asked by an Athens couple to design a home embedded in
their olive grove, architect Tilemachos Andrianopoulos
used geometry to respect the trees, provide protection
from wind and sun, and open up the residence to the
mountain views.
In Alice in Wonderland fashion, the home begins small
at a tip of a triangle where the walls are low. The
walls grow and stretch as the home progresses uphill
funneling views toward the Gerania mountains.
On two sides of the triangle the only openings are
slits which let in protected light and views (all
other windows open out onto one of two interior
courtyards. At the mountain-side of the home, the wall
is nearly double the size of the smaller end, and the
glass can be completely opened to let the olive trees
in.
In symbiosis with the local ecosystem, the home is
covered in a living roof, adjusted to the Greek
climatic conditions, in particular those of Attica
with lavender, helichrysum, auras, drosanthemum and
thyme. Inside the courtyards there is no grass, but
all local plantings and walkways of rammed earth.
