Apartment Building | A2G Architects

Situated on a hill in Heraklion, Crete, this apartment building offers panoramic views of the entire city. Despite the dense urban fabric and close proximity to neigh boring houses, the design does not isolate the building from its surroundings. Instead, it incorporates a pilotis, allowing public space to blend seamlessly into the building’s private areas. The architectural composition emphasizes the relationship between the road, the pilotis, the pool, the city, and the landscape, effectively framing the natural surroundings through the building. The building is spread over four levels: a basement, ground floor, and two additional floors. Four apartments occupy the two upper floors, and there are two roof gardens providing additional outdoor space. The pool, a place for relaxation and tranquility, is located in the back outdoor area of the plot, offering views of the mountains and the city.
