The plot is found in the lakeside region of Ioannina, in the western side of the city and a small distance from its centre. The lake constitutes an element of vital importance around which the largest part of the resident’s public life is organized. An issue that was intensively tackled was the conjunction of the landscape and the outer shell. We saw the earth surface as an essential syntactic element. The goal was to design a form able to create exciting spaces. Our intention was to create a ground-building that would give the impression that it is born from the earth. Elements of the construction are mixed with the natural ground as it unfolds and assumes them. The shell seems to become inflated, torn and to define walkways and spaces.In collaboration with Dimos Moysiadis architect
