aTREEum House – Onus Architecture Studio

Project: aTREEum House

Location: Kifisia, Attica

Architectural Study: ONUS Architecture Studio

Lead Architect: Margarita Kyanidou

Project Team: Margarita Kyanidou, Anna Andreadi, Christina Ntalli

Structural Study: Dedes & Roditis Engineers

3D Renders: Katerina Iakovaki

Status: Proposal

The design of the small aTREEum House in Kifisia showcases a thoughtful approach to energy efficiency and sustainability placed in a small plot of 6m width. The strategic placement of the building volume allows for the optimal utilization of sunlight, while also incorporating shading elements to protect the interior spaces from excessive heat gain. The central atrium serves as a key feature, providing natural light and solar gains to the residence, creating a bright and welcoming living environment for occupants.The design also includes vertical and horizontal openings that enhance natural lighting and ventilation, promoting a healthy indoor environment and reducing the need for artificial lighting and mechanical ventilation systems. The perforated shading elements not only complement the overall building form but also provide relief from the sun, ensuring thermal comfort within the apartments. Additionally, the planted atrium and vertical garden on the roof contribute to the enhancement of the microclimate, creating a green and sustainable environment around the building.Overall, “Atrium V” in Kifissia demonstrates a holistic approach to sustainable design, where energy efficiency, natural lighting, ventilation, and greenery are integrated to create a comfortable and environmentally friendly living space for residents.
