With an efficient plan organization and volume arrangement, the “Δ Tower” (pronounced Delta Tower, derived from the 4th Greek letter, delta) occupies the proposed site as efficiently as possible, prioritizing the assets of the plot. The ensured views are taken into consideration in the initial arrangement and configuration of the apartments, following a simple and efficient layout.

Having a quite narrow shape, the challenging plot is mostly occupied with satisfying the required building density. The form of the building is as simple and straightforward as possible, minimizing any wasted space and irregular shapes.  With the core strategically located at the mid-point of the backside of the plot and the apartments situated along the main road, we ensure maximum unobstructed views to the city, while less area is wasted for the need for corridors. Less circulation translates into more spacious apartments.

While the form of the building and the layout of the plan is as simple and efficient as possible, what gives the “Δ Tower” its identity is the angular form of the facade. The facade, shaped by the form of the protruding verandas and vertical louvers, promotes multi-orientated views, directing the focus of the spectator towards various point-references in the city.

Very few selected materials are used to complement the playful angular facade. The materials and color tones are very carefully chosen to achieve a simplistic, light, yet warm atmosphere. The alternating orientation of these louvers creates an image that is perceived differently as one walks around the tower, creating opaque and transparent segments.

The layout of the apartments is divided into clear zones of common and private space. All the bedrooms and common spaces are naturally ventilated, with clear views and natural light. The common spaces, including living, kitchen, and dining areas, are always located at the front side of the plot, accompanied by spacious covered verandas. The combination of the layout, as well as the multi-orientated verandas, create a unique experience for the users.
