A beautifully composed apartment block on the coast at Voula, south of Athens, the Nireos Building was designed as an expression of architectural fluidity. The orchestration of the streamlined building responds directly to the geometric complexity of the sea-front landscape below it, re-imagined as the framework for a series of super-contemporary residences. The evolution of the cantilevered terrace profiles mixes the rectilinear and curvilinear, highlighting and enhancing the volumes of shadow and light within the forms of each other to create the most elegant of architectural profiles.

At ground level, the solidity of the dark geometric stone massing of the perimeter walls emphasizes and amplifies the lightness of the architecture that rises above it. The delicately tapering edges of the terraces on each floor add to the sublime elegance of the building, demonstrating its refined materiality and construction techniques. The building responds with care to the topography and local context, interspersing the solid external facades with louvered wooden panels and elevated private atrium gardens that integrate the building fully with the design language of the surrounding low-density residential area.
