"The building is composed of stacked and slightly offset volumes, generating a sense of tectonic layering across the elevation. This volumetric strategy introduces rhythm and variation while maintaining a coherent architectural order. Repetition is used as an organizing principle, allowing individual residential units to remain legible within the overall massing while contributing to a unified whole. all images courtesy of Georges Batzios Architects Repetition supports cohesion across the red hills building mass"
"The conceptual framework of the project draws on the notion of 'earth' (χώμα/γη) as a grounding element, understood here in architectural rather than symbolic terms. This reference informs the project's emphasis on stability, permanence, and material expression. These qualities are translated into the building's structural logic and volumetric composition, positioning the project as a counterpoint to more image-driven residential developments within the surrounding masterplan."
Red Hills is a 14-story residential building in Attica with a ground floor and two basement levels, conceived as a compact vertical housing structure. The design stacks slightly offset volumes to create tectonic layering, rhythm, and variation while maintaining coherent architectural order. Repetition organizes the massing so individual units remain legible within a unified form. The concept draws on the notion of earth as architectural grounding, informing stability, permanence, and material expression. Emphasis on spatial comfort, continuity, enclosure, scale, proportion, and structural clarity aims to support long-term habitation rather than short-term visual impact.
