Direction Architects

Our Founder will be attending the SHARE Skopje International Architecture Forum, to give a talk titled “Towards A New Residential Paradigm” with an extended presentation on House Symbiosis.

Many thanks to SHAREarchitects for the invitation and looking forward to an inspiring event with great speakers across Europe.

A big thanks to Wallpaper* magazine and Jonathan Bell for conveying the main ideas of House Symbiosis!

Read about how a new residential typology was designed to shelter two families and redefine the boundaries between privacy and socialization.

At Direction, we are always interested in the social aspects of architecture.

“Filtering Behaviour” is a proposal for a pavilion, made out of a single wooden interlocking component of varying scales, which allows for different types of socialisation.

We are excited to share our first participation on an open international competition.

Our proposal for an Arts Building for the HAEF Athens College - Psychico College constitutes a manifesto of landform architecture within an urban context.

We strongly believe that architecture needs to emerge and respect its environment and this was a catalytic parameter for the design of the arts school, since our proposal suggests a direct extension of the surrounding landscape.

Design Team: John Kanakas in collaboration with Marios Triantafyllou and Kostas Christopoulos
