The Ramp House is a project which tries to reconsider and redefine the living space. The client requested a “skatable habitat”. The result was a curved form interior, which set the whole house as well as the inhabitant’s life, into motion. In that space, which actually was a roof addition to an existing three-story building, Athanasia Psaraki achieved a balanced co-existence between the old and the new. The dominant material was obviously wood, so Athanasia used a wooden pergola and wooden horizontal louvers, which wrap up the whole new structure, ergo connecting the old with the new in a harmonious way. As a result the new volume obtained independence while still remaining an inseparable part of the whole.
The Ramp House Project is definitely representative of amazing architecture with style, function and fun.
