Notre Ntam’ by Z-level:
“This project is located on the point of Agios Fokas on the south-westernside of the island of Lesvos on an agricultural greenfield site amongst the olive groves. The only structures of the area are small agricultural buildings – ntam”. Topographically, the 3.5 hectare (8.6 acres) seaside plot is on an incline and planted with 300 olive trees. The owners, two brothers and their families, are city dwellers, used to living in Athens and Boston, decided to forge new bonds with the land of their ancestors.
The basic issues of the design were incorporating the residences in the topography of the landscape; low-impact accessibility; developing a dialectic between the two buildings; making use of the unconfined view; incorporating bioclimatic elements; and using natural materials. The design was intended to re-interpret local vernacular references, which are not drawn from traditional residential architecture on Lesvos, but from early industrial buildings located there. The dominant theme was how to handle an exceptional site with favourable conditions in difficult times.
The residences were situated with an eye to incorporating them in the hillside, placing them below the level of the skyline, in the olive grove, leaving the landscape that surrounds them intact. Of the 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres) that comprise the plot, 600 sq.m. (6,458.4 sq.ft) were covered by hard materials, while the remaining land was left covered by earth, and the old olive grove terraces were recorded and repaired.
The residences were placed parallel to the elevation contour lines, between the end of the olive grove and the start of the seaside terrain, functioning as a passage from the land to the sea. This zone allows a flow of the landscape and marks the boundary between a solid and a light side: the elevation facing the olive grove is stone, with openings that isolate segments of the landscape, while the elevation facing the sea in transparent and unified.
The building appears to rise from the ground in which it is rooted on the side of the olive grove and to levitate on the side of the sea. As you approach the building and walk through it, its spaces unfold like a movie, and the sea appears gradually, framed initially by openings of the stone elevation; then through shady arcades and deep verandas, that protect from the sun; and, finally, the view opens up on the platform above the cliff.
The two buildings are connected at the level of the roofs, which constitute a conceptual continuity, following the shape of the hill on a lower level.
Both buildings were designed using the same design principles and comprise variations on a theme, being respectively 150sq.m. (1,614.6sq.ft) and 250sq.m. (2,691sq.ft) builds.
The houses are on the ground level and shaped as elongated rectangles, designed on the bioclimatic principles of using openings on either side, ventilation and shading. The multi-level inclined roof creates a single room space at its highest point, with an open balcony that faces the interior of the residence. This final level has glass sides with opening segments which help remove the warm air by drawing it away.
Maintaining the interior and exterior spaces at the same level fosters a sense of cohesion and flow, while also allowing access for the handicapped, who have access to all areas. The pool was created to be enjoyed by those who have difficulty getting down to the sea.
The outdoor areas are designed to be autonomous from the interior, to suit the requirements of the owners and their visitors, with an outdoor kitchen, a vegetable garden, as well as seating, eating and bathroom areas, as well as the facilities for outdoor film showings.
The weight-bearing structure is metal and the filling materials stone and light wall-building with external insulation façade. Local materials were used, including Polychnitos stone and natural earths to colour the cement on the roof and the roads. Sustainable heating systems were used.”

Modern Living-Garden House in Katowice by KWK Promes
The contemporary home is located in Katowice, Poland.
Modern Living-Garden House in Katowice by KWK Promes:
“The house was built in Katowice, Poland. The form and materials represent local traditions – of Silesian worker settlements featuring red masonry walls and asphalt-lined gable roofs. Moreover, local plans enforced traditional development, which was, however, ultimately transformed – to ensure maximum privacy, the ground floor was set parallel to the road for the building to isolate the backyard garden from the road, whereas the first floor was shifted at 90 degrees to overhang and penetrate the garden. The building has thus acquired two faces. Street-side, it is enclosed, inaccessible, raising the comfort of its residents, guaranteeing maximum intimacy. In turn, garden-side, it is full of glazed surfaces overlooking the environment. A living-garden is created under the ledge. On warm days, after removing the glass partitions, indoor space merges with the garden, the flooring transforms into grass.
The magnificent ledge rests on two reinforced concrete walls covered with stainless steel to produce a dematerializing effect. Indoor space penetrates the garden both physically and deceptively.
Wall fragments in the living section meet the expectations of investors to form a piece of intimate space (a home cinema is created after closing the curtains).
The first floor is the night section overlooking terraces located on the flat roof of the ground floor.
Technologies and materials
The house is built in monolithic construction and finished with clinker brick. However, not only external walls are veneered in brickwork, but the garage gates are covered with it too.
The roofing features grey EPDM membranes and hidden gutters.
As a result of shifting buiding’s structure at 90 degrees the cladding of upper teraces and soffit panels features the same material – wood, delivered from the local suppliers. The bottom of the stairs is way the same material.
The interior of brick ground and first floor is kept white. The flooring is made of polyurethane resin and both walls and furnishing is finished with glossy lacquered MDF boards.
Living-garden space underneath the ledge is treated with different materials that emphasize integration with nature. Flooring becomes reminescence of grass, and external glass partitions, provided by Skyframe, may entirely be removed and hidden in a wall niche.
The ledge is supported by reinforced concrete walls that create intimate space of home theathre. From the outdoor they are covered with mirror stainless steel and with the adjoining living-garden they give an impression of nature flowing under the building. Its interior however is kept in dark colours. Floor is covered with carpeting, walls are finished with the same fabrics as the sofa and ceilling is made of mirror stainless steel. This space opens towards the southern garden by Skyframe glazing and towards living-garden as well – in these openings the curtains are provided, allowing privacy during screening.”
