城市条纹 "是一栋公寓楼或 "Polykatoikia"，在希腊这种类型的建筑通常被称为 "Polykatoikia"。它位于雅典中心的Koukaki社区，离Bernard Tschumi设计的卫城新博物馆和Zenetos设计的旧啤酒厂 "Fix "非常近，Zenetos是上个世纪有影响力的希腊建筑师。该社区大部分是住宅，建于60和70年代，具有 "polykatoikia "的类型。
“Urban stripes” is an apartment building or a “polykatoikia” as it is commonly known in Greece this type of building. It is located at Koukaki a neighborhood in the centre of Athens very close to the new museum of Acropolis by Bernard Tschumi and the old beer factory “Fix” by Zenetos an influential Greek architect of the last century. The neighborhood is mostly residential, built during the 60’s and 70’s with the typology of the “polykatoikia”
重新解释这种类型的元素，并从该地区的两个重要建筑 "城市条纹 "创造一个新的城市外墙，以回应当前的城市和社会条件。
Reinterpreting elements of this typology and from the two important buildings of the area “Urban stripes” create a new urban façade responding to the urban and social conditions of current times.
城市条纹 "是在雅典的危机还不明显时设计的，而它在危机最严重时完成。虽然它的设计没有遵循豪华高端公寓的建筑泡沫时代的趋势，但它不是一个危机的建筑。它是一个相当灵活的建筑，为不同的钱包和需求提供解决方案，就像几十年前雅典的情况一样，当时 "polykatoikia "是一个有趣的社会混合和功能混合的实验，通常遵循从下到上的财富等级，在第一层分配办公空间，在底层分配当地零售，在中间、高层和地下室分配住宅。
Urban stripes were designed when crisis was not evident in Athens and it was finished when crisis is on its peak. Although it was not designed following the trend of a construction bubble era of luxury high end apartments it is not a building of the crisis. It is a rather flexible building that provides solutions for different wallets and needs as it was always the case some decades ago in Athens when “polykatoikia” was an interesting experiment of social mixture and mixture of functions usually following the hierarchy of wealth from bottom to top, distributing office spaces on the first floors, local retail on the ground floor, residential on middle, upper and basement floors.
公寓通过其大小、位置、平面、剖面和对雅典卫城的视野来定义。城市结构正在被过滤，隐私是很重要的，因为密集的城市环境在该地区占主导地位。利用直线性，与泽内托斯建筑和相邻建筑外墙的阳台产生直接的关系，通过不同高度的线性开口设计，显示或隐藏不同的城市风景。与线性并列的是悬臂式阳台，作为体量。
Apartments are defined through their size, position, plan, section and their view to Acropolis. Urban fabric is being filtered and privacy is important as the dense urban environment is dominant in the area. Using linearity that creates a direct relation to Zenetos building and the balconies of the adjacent building façade is designed through linear openings on different heights that show or hide different pieces of the urban scenery. Juxtaposed to the linearity the cantilevered balconies act as volumes.
今天生活在雅典中心的人与1960-1970年建造这个社区时有很大的不同。隐私和安全是非常重要的。控制视野，掩盖你不想看到的东西，并允许你看到你想看到的东西，这一点也很重要。由于雅典的气候原因，噪音和污染已经改变了对阳台的需求，而阳台对公寓的功能是必不可少的，但没有达到以前的程度和尺寸。
Living in the centre of Athens today is dramatically different from when this neighborhood was built back in 1960-1970. Privacy and safety are very important. Controlled views obscuring what you don’t want to see and allowing where you want to see is important as well. Noise and pollution have altered the need of balconies which are essential to the function of an apartment due to the climate of Athens but not to the extent and the dimensions that used to be.
在雅典这样一个灰色的城市，白色的外墙真的很突出，但它也有助于夏季强烈阳光的反射。一楼将用于办公，为此，立面是不同的，为建筑创造一个基础。后立面使用了雅典被遗忘的后立面的不同元素。使用过去的形式，如圆柱形楼梯和几乎错位的窗户，"城市条纹 "对雅典几乎任意的、没有真正设计的后立面进行了独特的现代重新诠释。
In a grey city like Athens the white color of the façade really stands out but it also helps to the reflection of the intense sunlight during summer. First floor is going to be used for offices and for this reason the façade is different creating a base for the building. Back façade uses different elements of the forgotten back facades of Athens. Using forms of the past like cylindrical stairway, and almost misplaced windows “urban stripes” have a unique modern reinterpretation of the almost arbitrary not really designed back facades of Athens.
对那些完全被忽视的后墙进行必要但不情愿的过滤是我们必须要做的一个非常重要的任务。使用彩色层压玻璃，我们为这些城市废墟提出了一个不同的观点，这突然变得有趣起来。
Filtering necessary but unwilling views to those totally neglected back facades was one very important task that we had to do. Using colored laminated glasses we proposed a different view to these urban ruins, which suddenly became interesting.
每一层楼都是不同的，它的公寓回答了不同的生活场景和需求。当我们越往上走，雅典卫城和帕台农神庙的景色就越令人窒息。在5楼之后，由于规定，我们必须退缩，所以一个新的建筑，一个顶楼已经被创造出来，透明和巨大的玻璃外墙，以探索与雅典卫城岩石的对话。顶楼是由裸露的混凝土和玻璃制成的，分三层延伸。
Every floor is different and its apartment answers to different living scenarios and needs. As we get higher Acropolis and Parthenon view is breath taking. After the 5th floor due to regulations we had to recess and so a new building, a penthouse has been created with transparency and vast glass façade to explore a dialogue with the Acropolis rock. The penthouse is made by exposed concrete and glass and is extended in three floors.
在内部，公共空间的处理再次使用了过去的元素，如马赛克地板和大理石边框，但也使用了区分每层楼的颜色调色板，非常有趣。
Inside, the common spaces are being treated using again elements of the past as mosaic flooring and marble bordures but also it is playful using a palette of colors that differentiate each floor.
