About H77 Diamond House
Nestled Between Mountain and Sea: The H77 Residence
Perched in Voula, Athens, at the foot of Imittos mountain, stands the H77 house. This four-story residence spans 300m^2 (approximately 3,229 sq.ft) and boasts a unique architectural design.
A Layout Tailored to Nature’s Best Views
The master suite occupies the rooftop. Living rooms and secondary bedrooms fill the middle floors. Meanwhile, the ground level houses auxiliary rooms and a parking area.
Embracing the Outdoors
With breathtaking sea and mountain vistas, we envisioned an extroverted design. Large windows dominate the facades, protected by innovative movable aluminum curtains. These curtains, controlled electrically, adjust throughout the day and year. They ensure optimal daylight and ventilation.
Origami-Inspired Elegance
The plot’s specifications and Japan’s traditional origami craft inspired the building’s design. We meticulously blended the residence with its natural surroundings. In places, the rocky terrain either flattens into terraces or integrates as a structural element.
