Penthouse on Solonos Street: The purity of the architectural solution, in an architectural study by Villy Attart
The penthouse of the typical 1950s Athenian apartment building on Solonos Street has been inhabited by people of letters and artists with special requirements, having undergone multiple alterations.
The circular passage in the apartment that led to closed spaces-rooms, through a narrow corridor, was the main element that the architectural proposal sought to demolish.
Positioned on the north-south axis, overlooking Lycabettus and the Acropolis, it was organized right from the start in such a way that the new living space of the now four-member family would be open, fluid, functional, with unobstructed views on the two important landmarks of the city from different points, whilst maintaining the urban character of the old Athenian apartment building.
