In the heart of P. Psychiko, a typical two-flat residence from 1955 undergoes a remarkable transformation into a contemporary building comprising three residences. This reinterpretation of its functional and geometrical principles significantly alters both the building and its surrounding area, turning it into a unique residence in Psychiko.
The intervention is substantial. Only the building's structure and part of the external walls are preserved, while all internal walls are demolished. The existing flat divisions and entrances are also removed. The interior organization of the new residences, their interrelations, and the circulation around them are entirely redesigned. This transformation truly redefines the concept of a residence in Psychiko.
The building no longer has four independent facades. Instead, it resembles a sculpture, characterized by the continuity of its sides. A new red veil envelops the building, unifying its appearance. The different volumes highlight its three-dimensionality, creating areas that constantly change due to light and shadow. This dynamic effect is further enhanced by the shadows of the surrounding trees, which shape various spaces with distinct qualities.
A dominant feature of the building is its color. Amidst the quiet, green, and tranquil environment of P. Psychiko, the aim is to harmonize the building with its context while also making it stand out. The building is painted with earthy yet vibrant colors: red, orange, and blue-green. It is no longer just a building; it comes alive, evoking movement and life. It functions as a living organism, capable of provoking feelings and influencing the lives of both its users and passersby.
This residence in Psychiko is a true testament to innovative architectural design, blending harmoniously with its environment while making a bold statement. It is not just a place to live but a piece of art that interacts with its surroundings.
