The study is an intervention in an existing building of 1958 and the addition of a floor. The existing building is located in Nea Smyrni, at the intersection of Kioupetzoglou and Acropolis streets. The height development of the building was foreseen with the addition of a house of 80 m2. The common areas of the house are arranged in a C-shape enclosing a semi-outdoor area, while the private areas, the bedroom and the bathroom are developed in parallel on the entrance axis, ensuring access to an independent outdoor area. In addition to the addition of the new floor, the morphological integration of the existing building was also proposed. A wooden curtain delimits a two-storey semi-perforated cube and covers the semi-outdoor areas of the houses on the first and second floors. At the ground floor level, the signs of the shops are organized in a horizontal zone above the openings and in the existing balconies they are changed to the railings according to a new design.
