waterline -os / -i -o [ísalos] E17 : (naut.) ~ / waterline (of a ship), the line drawn on the sides of a ship at the level where they touch the surface of the sea. || (as noun) the waterline, the waterline or the parts around it; (cf. hyphae, exala).
The building is inspired by the request from the client re look like a SuperYacht at sea. It is located in the seaside area of Glyfada and exudes a sense of peace and luxury. The perimeter balconies of the building offer the occupant a sense of freedom as if they were on the deck of a ship.
The fluid lines and curves in the facade reflect the waves and give the feeling of movement towards the sea. The curved forms in white like sea foam surround balconies, plantings and architectural elements. Large balconies are formed on each level, which ensure privacy and direct visual contact with the environment. The fluidity of the forms is combined with the functionality of the architectural design, incorporating the harmony of the sea into the living space.

Ίσαλος -ος / -η -ο [ísalos] Ε17 : (ναυτ.) ~ / ίσαλη γραμμή (ενός πλοίου), η γραμμή που χαράζεται στις πλευρές ενός πλοίου, στο ύψος όπου αυτές εφάπτονται με την επιφάνεια της θάλασσας. || (ως ουσ.) τα ίσαλα, η ίσαλος γραμμή ή τα γύρω από αυτήν μέρη· (πρβ. ύφαλα, έξαλα).
Το κτήριο εμπνέεται από ένα ταξίδι με σκάφος στην θάλασσα. Βρίσκεται στην παραθαλάσσια περιοχή της Γλυφάδας κοντά στο Golf. Το ζητούμενο από τον πελάτη ήταν το κτίριο να παρομοιάζει ένα SuperYacht.
Οι ρευστές γραμμές και οι καμπύλες στην όψη, αντανακλούν τα κύματα και δίνουν την αίσθηση της κίνησης προς τη θάλασσα. Οι καμπύλες μορφές σε λευκό χρώμα σαν τον αφρό της θάλασσας, περιβάλλουν εξώστες, φυτεύσεις και αρχιτεκτονικά στοιχεία. Σε κάθε επίπεδο διαμορφώνονται αρχιτεκτονικά στοιχεία τα οποία εξασφαλίζουν ιδιωτικότητα και άμεση οπτική επαφή με το περιβάλλον. Η ρευστότητα των μορφών συνδυάζεται με τη λειτουργικότητα του αρχιτεκτονικού σχεδιασμού ενσωματώνοντας την αρμονία της θάλασσας στο χώρο κατοίκισης.
Τα υλικά επικάλυψης του κελύφους, προσφέρουν στον ένοικο την αίσθηση σαν να βρισκόταν σε κατάστρωμα πλοίου.
