House XXII is a commissioned project for a detached family house in Kalamata. The plot is located in the west part of the city, a place which used to house refugees from asia minor back at the first decades of the 20th century. The area is predominantly comprised of single floor or two-floor residential buildings. Following the area’s typology, the design features one main volume, supported by a lateral staircase, and subtle morphological gestures at its street façade.
