Poseidonos
In 2021, Herzog & de Meuron was invited to participate in a competition for the Coastal Front Condos on the Aghios Kosmas peninsula at the southern edge of Athens. The project is part of the Hellinikon masterplan that brings radical urban change through the transformation of a former airport into a new mixed-use metropolitan hub. Along with the reactivation of the coastline and the introduction of new urban axes, a landscaped park forms the heart of the new neighborhood and will become the largest coastal park in Europe. The Coastal Front Condos residential project consists of four urban plots running parallel to the coastline, bordered on the west by a zone of beach-front villas and on the east by the new Poseidonos Avenue. It comprises over 120 apartments with a total gross floor area of 22’500 square meters. The overall concept for the project aims to maximize views to the sea by concentrating the building mass in one single elevated linear structure, leaving a generous common garden on the opposite side. Pilotis free up the ground plane, allowing the landscape to flow beneath the buildings while creating a generous entrance and open views from east to west.
