Description
- It is a residential neighbourhood that was built to house athletes during the 2004 Olympic Games held in Athens. It is now being used as social housing.
- The site is located at the foothills of Mount Parnitha. The site overlooks the surrounding city and landscape.
- The site is planned with an orthogonal grid with a central public square which is the international zone.
- A hierarchy of scale has been created through a system of avenues, streets and alleys. This provides human-centric scale amidst the large complex.
- The large urban blocks are interwoven with a finer pedestrian network of streets and alleys.
- The residential area consists of low-rise apartments arranged in clusters surrounding courtyards and flanked by pedestrian paths.
- The development is designed as per HQE guidelines, HQE being a green certification used in France. Several features such as natural ventilation, shading via tree planting and energy management strategies have been considered in the development.
- 19 different typologies of residential buildings have been created within the village to create architectural variety.
- A resident centre was created for every 600 athletes in the residential area, providing everyday amenities. Two larger centres featuring elements like massage centres and video game rooms were also constructed on site.
- Archaeological remains found during the construction were retained and preserved on the site.
