Within the dense fabric of central Athens, this residential proposal explores the balcony as an inhabited threshold: a space where domestic life participates in the city.
The familiar horizontality of the Athenian polykatoikia is reworked through a sequence of undulating edges, introducing variation into the repetition of the residential floor. Expanding and contracting around the building, these contours form pockets of outdoor occupation, negotiating proximity, exposure and retreat. The corner becomes a moment of continuity, drawing the two street elevations into a single, unfolding composition.
