“2 faced” is one more upcoming residential project in Marousi by GConstructions team and partners, designed by Fotis Gazepidis and Anna Hatziioannou.
THE DESIGN CONCEPT
The design concept came up at the very first sight of the plot as it concentrates some unique characteristics that cannot be ignored! Even if its face to the street is relatively small compared to its size, its length and high-altitude difference allow for a design of a building with “two faces” equally remarkable!
The main building was placed in the front side of the plot creating a single, with steep slope terrain and a well in it, at the backyard of the plot. This was a “gift yard” for our design team which nicely designed it as the protagonist of the concept. From the one side there is a low traffic road and on the other side there is an approximately 300sqm garden. Even if traditionally façade apartments are considered most privileged and expensive (especially when the front street is a low traffic one as in this case) this time backyard hide some pleasant surprises.
DESCRIPTION
The building consist of eight properties lined up into two columns of four properties each connected all with a communal staircase with a lift providing access in all levels. The size of the apartments increases by floor level as the market demands while, in each floor, both sides have equal size apartments. This is decided since both sides are equally exceptional. All the residents have access to the big single garden for leisure either by using the steps or the wheel chair ramps. All of properties are accompanied by a storage room and a parking space, the larger properties go with two indoor parking spaces and a larger storage room. Internally all the apartments are designed to be very functional with an upgraded layout giving you the feeling that they are much larger than they are. All the rooms are airy, sunny, orientated and placed according to their needs, exploiting in maximum the potential of the plot. The ground floor and first floor apartments revel in the landscaping garden sight, second and third floor have even better view on the horizon. Lastly, on the top floor there are two very privileged maisonettes each of them with a huge terrace and a private small swimming pool, both enjoying, in opposite directions for privacy reasons, the perfect view over the neighbour buildings.
LOCATION
Its location is in a familiar zone for gconstructions. All new projects are purposely in this area since it has been selected from our team as a top modern residential area. It has been mentioned before in previous articles. Marousi is an ideal place for living in many aspects. Transport network, new landscaping areas, residential neighbourhoods, shopping malls, casino, sport facilities, international schools, international companies’ coordinates, are all gathered together creating a super advanced suburb.
In more detail, plots are in an even greater spot in a great area. The neighbourhood around is quite and residential with low traffic while all the amenities and services of a modern western citizen as described above are in a walk distance.
