Two volumes, one garden
The first volume, north-west and solid, protects the house; the second, more open and perforated, turns toward the garden and pool. The garden–pergola–interior relationship becomes central.

Architectural narrative
Three-StoreyResidenceinChalandri
A three-storey residence organised in a G-shape, where a solid north-west volume shields life in the garden and around the pool.
Boundary
The stone wall is treated as an architectural element: it steps up in rhythm, protects without enclosing, and never becomes a single flat barrier.
Garden
The relationship between garden, pool, and pergola organises outdoor life and lets the house breathe.
Clarity
Inside, broad corners, generous heights, and clear transitions maintain a calm, refined intensity.
A G-shape around the garden.
The plan chooses a G-shape so that garden and pool become the interior of the composition, not an afterthought.
A wall that respects the neighbour.
The stone wall toward the neighbouring plot is articulated in steps, so it never reads as a monolithic back and integrates into the overall image.
Pergola and pool become daily space.
Outdoor design is treated as an architectural chapter, not as decoration: shading, seating, and transitions.
