Tichis & Nafsikas St. Residential Building Facade Design
Located at the corner of Tichis and Nafsikas Streets in Glyfada, Athens, this multi-story residential building is a contemporary statement of urban coastal living. Its architectural identity is defined by bold horizontality, refined proportions, and a clean, modern aesthetic that enhances both visual impact and livability. The facade is characterized by a series of wide, slender horizontal slabs that extend beyond the main volume on each floor. These architectural overhangs create a strong sense of rhythm and layering, while serving functional roles, providing solar protection, and expanding outdoor living spaces.
An Architecture of Transparency and Lightness
Floor-to-ceiling glass panels dominate the elevations, establishing uninterrupted sightlines and inviting daylight deep into the interior spaces. Each residence benefits from expansive terraces framed by minimalist, transparent railings, offering privacy without sacrificing the open views of the surrounding neighborhood and coastal horizon. The building’s visual language balances solidity with openness. Structural clarity, soft tonal contrasts, and seamless material transitions elevate the façade’s experience. This design approach fosters a fluid relationship between indoor and outdoor space—an essential quality for contemporary Mediterranean living.
