House Symbiosis by Direction Architects Wins Silver in A' Architecture Awards
Innovative double residency design recognized for fostering familial bonds while preserving privacy
COMO, CO, ITALY, August 23, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award, a highly prestigious and well-recognized award in the field of architecture design, has announced House Symbiosis by Direction Architects2 as the Silver winner in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category. This esteemed recognition highlights the significance of House Symbiosis as an outstanding example of architectural excellence within the industry.House Symbiosis addresses the evolving needs of contemporary living, offering a thoughtful balance between communal and individual spaces for two sibling families. The design's relevance lies in its innovative approach to fostering close familial bonds while maintaining privacy, aligning with current trends and demands in the architecture industry. This recognition underscores the practical benefits of House Symbiosis for users and stakeholders, emphasizing its utility and innovation.
The award-winning design stands out for its strategic use of geometry, spatial orientation, facades, and volumetric massing to navigate the delicate equilibrium between privacy and socialization. The volumetric displacement of facades generates balconies and cantilevers, carefully limiting visual contact between interiors and creating secluded outdoor spaces. A sculptural ribbon-like geometry on the front inner facade adds a dynamic element, creating the impression of a moving structure.
The Silver A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award serves as a motivation for Direction Architects to continue pushing the boundaries of design excellence and innovation. This recognition has the potential to inspire future projects and directions within the firm, fostering further exploration and creativity in the field of architecture.
House Symbiosis was designed by Direction Architects, with Architect Designer John Kanakas and Architect Engineer Kostas Christopoulos playing key roles in the project.
