M HOUSES

On a 195 m² plot in the urban fabric of Thessaloniki, the owner requested the design of two identical but independent houses for his children. The design challenge was to ensure equality in terms of quality, space distribution, and functionality, while adhering to urban planning regulations.
The houses were designed with standardized floor plans, with the ground floor dedicated to living spaces. The living room is located at the front façade of the building, adjacent to the street, while the kitchen is positioned at the rear, leading to the backyard. On the first floor, the sleeping areas and bathrooms are placed.
In terms of volume, the two houses are distinguished by their sloped roofs and a common design language, with significant differences that make each unit unique. The main front façade includes an indentation that creates a parking space on the ground floor and a shared balcony for the two bedrooms on the upper floor.
At the rear façade, the building volume steps back, creating a shared balcony for the bedrooms and bathrooms. Externally, materials such as exposed concrete and metallic railings and frames in a blue-grey shade were used, providing a modern aesthetic while respecting the urban scale.
