Project Pegasus, Corinth, GR

The project proposes a thoughtful and cost-conscious residential scheme aimed at providing well-considered living spaces for young families. The design responds to the dynamics of contemporary urban life, prioritizing adaptability, spatial clarity, and integration within the local context.

The building is organized into two distinct, rational volumes housing the primary living spaces, connected via a central vertical circulation core. Communal spaces on the rooftop encourage social interaction among residents, while the inclusion of a compact commercial unit at ground level contributes to street-level activation and supports the neighbourhood’s mixed-use character.

The façades are defined by a system of external living spaces, enveloped by movable shading screens that respond to privacy and environmental considerations—offering protection from sunlight and wind. These spaces act as a "third space" between the private interior and the public realm, mediating thresholds and enhancing spatial flexibility.

This "third space," through its geometry and materiality, reflects the cyclical rhythms of daily urban life. It operates as a responsive mechanism—adapting to shifting light conditions, seasonal changes, and the varied activities that unfold throughout the day—capturing the passage of time and the subtle traces of human presence.

The project's aesthetic narrative is rooted in an appreciation of everyday simplicity, where the mundane is transformed into the distinctive, and the ordinary becomes a defining feature of the building's identity.

Ultimately, the proposal seeks to cultivate a dialogue with its immediate urban context, addressing the needs of residents and the wider community through a design that balances functionality with a strong architectural character.
