这两座房子位于雅典北郊的一个长条形地块的两边。从概念上和程序上组织这两个结构的基本构成特征是纵向的、垂直于街道的墙，它横穿并联合了整个建筑群，以及两个 “L “形的混凝土结构元素。
The two houses are placed on the opposite sides of an elongated plot in a Northern suburb of Athens. The essential compositional features, which organised conceptually and programmatically the two structures are the longitudinal, vertical to the street, wall, which crosses and unites the entire complex, and, the two ‘L’ shaped, concrete structural elements.
这些元素确保了一个统一的地面，同时通过将两座房子向内翻转来组织和保护中央庭院，该庭院是该建筑群的主要户外空间，是大家庭生活的中心。院子朝南开放，它被北方的纵墙保护着，纵墙将两个独立的体量连接起来。这种连接，由墙和金属凉棚表现出来，是属于同一家庭成员的两座房子的主要程序性联系。
These elements ensure a unified ground level while organising and protecting the two houses by turning them inwards, to the central courtyard that consists of the complex’s main outdoor space, the centre of the extended household’s life. The courtyard opens up towards the South, and it is protected by the North by the longitudinal wall the unites the two independent volumes. This connection, expressed by both the wall and the metal pergola, consists of the main programmatic link of the two houses that belong to members of the same family.
这两个 “L “形的元素被从地面抬起，以创造一个直接的视觉和程序上的整体底层的统一。这里是两栋房子中每天的生活空间（休息室、餐厅、厨房）。同时，两个 “L “的垂直表面定义了该建筑群的私人空间。集体的、开放的、透明的房间与私人房间之间的分隔也在形态上和结构上得到了体现。
The two ‘L’ shaped elements are lifted from the ground in order to create a direct visual and programmatic unity of the overall ground floor level. This is where every day, living spaces (lounge, dining, kitchen) are in both houses. At the same time, the vertical surfaces of the two ‘L’s define the complex’s private spaces. The separation between collective, open, and transparent rooms from private ones is also morphologically and structurally expressed.
不同的轻质、金属和木质结构定义了上层和夹层，其中包括家庭的卧室和工作空间。这两座房子在一个地下设施层中结合在一起，其中包括服务区和停车位。总的来说，地下室给人的印象是另一个有盖的开放空间，由天窗和其他开口处提供充足的光线。项目的主要材料是未粉刷的混凝土、金属和木材，而地块的界限则由新的或修复的石墙界定。
Distinct, lightweight, metal, and wooden structures define the upper level and the mezzanine, which include the family’s bedrooms and working spaces. The two houses are united in an underground facilities floor, which includes service areas and parking spaces. Overall, the basement creates the impression of another covered open space, lighted generously by skylights and other openings. Un-plastered, unpainted concrete, metal, and wood are the project’s main materials, while the plot’s limits are defined by new or repaired stone walls.
