URBAN CHAPEL ATHENS, GREECE, 2019
Architecture: X-Architecture Lead Principal: Pavlos Xanthopoulos Architect: Anastasis Dimokas Renderings: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: The Urban Chapel serves as a versatile conference area designed to accommodate lectures, religious gatherings, and various social events. A defining characteristic of the space is the seamless continuity of walls and ceiling, fashioned in an origami surface. This distinctive design not only integrates atmospheric hidden lighting but also meets the necessary acoustic standards. The ribbed ceiling plays a pivotal role in enhancing the acoustic performance of the area, evenly distributing sound throughout the space. Despite the striking architectural presence created by the origami ceiling, the overall atmosphere of the conference room remains bright and clean. This innovative design ensures a harmonious blend of aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency, making the Urban Chapel an ideal setting for diverse events.

MOUNTAIN VIEW ARACHOVA, GREECE, 2020
Architecture: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: Nestled near Greece's premier ski resort and winter haven of Parnassos, Mountain View incorporates inclined roofs as a crucial design element mandated by code. This feature not only pragmatically prevents the accumulation of snow on terraces but also contributes to the picturesque character of the built space. In this design, the roof seamlessly transforms into the wall, and the wall becomes the floor, creating a continuous integration of materials and spaces. The incorporation of a built-in living room serves to enhance the cozy ambiance sought by winter visitors, providing a retreat that balances warmth with transparency. This strategic design allows for unobstructed views towards the majestic mountain, ensuring that residents and guests alike can appreciate the natural beauty of the surroundings while enjoying the comfort of the interior space. Mountain View, with its harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics, stands as a welcoming retreat in the midst of a winter wonderland. PROFESSIONAL WORK: Residential & Interior Design

INFINITY
ATHENS, GREECE, 2020
Architecture: Kordas Architects Lead Principal: Aristides Kordas Architects: Anastasis Dimokas, Eleni Tsaprali, Athanasia Stavropoulou, Jenny Chalkiadaki Renderings: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: This project revolves around the creation of three family houses, with a unique arrangement where parents inhabit the ground floor, and two grown children with their spouses occupy separate spaces on the first floor. The challenge and specific request from the client were to ensure identical and equal spatial qualities between the two houses for the sons. The design cleverly adopts the form of the infinity symbol, intertwining the two residences and subtly emphasizing the enduring bond of brotherhood. This symbolic approach allows for a dynamic alternation in design elements from one house to the other while maintaining an exact spatial parity. The third residence, dedicated to the parents, is characterized by a stone covering, symbolizing strength and support for the entire family. This intentional choice of materials and design not only creates a visually cohesive and meaningful family unit but also provides a nuanced exploration of spatial equality and interconnectedness within the shared living environment.

LIVING MACHINE ATHENS, GREECE, 2021
Architecture: Kordas Architects Lead Principal: Aristides Kordas Architect: Anastasis Dimokas Renderings: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: In the serene suburbs of Peania, Athens, two distinct homes are thoughtfully designed for a single family. The meticulous consideration of views, orientation, and the tranquil surroundings of this peaceful neighborhood is at the core of the project. Corner floor-to-ceiling windows are strategically incorporated to maximize openness and capture panoramic views, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. A key feature of the design is the integration of a shallow water canal, specifically conceived to cool the southern part of the house. This not only serves a functional purpose but also enhances the overall outdoor living experience, bringing a touch of nature into the living spaces. The careful orchestration of elements, from architectural features to natural elements, reflects a commitment to creating homes that seamlessly blend with their environment while prioritizing comfort and a connection to the surrounding landscape. Personal Contribution: SD, DD, communication and appointments with client, code research, hand sketching, drawings in Autocad, Archicad, modeling in Rhino and 3Ds Max, and 3D rendering in in Corona.

UNDERGROUND SPLINES CORFU, GREECE, 2019
Architecture: X-Architecture Lead Principal: Pavlos Xanthopoulos Architect: Anastasis Dimokas Renderings: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: Nestled discreetly near the sea, seven residences have been meticulously designed on a sprawling 350-thousand-square-feet site. Drawing inspiration from the natural landscape and untouched surroundings, the design seamlessly integrates with its context through careful consideration of materials and form. Corfu, renowned for its status as a summer destination, sets the stage for residences where a significant portion of residents' time is spent in the expansive exterior spaces. An intentional effort is made to spatially reestablish a connection between the interior and exterior, eliminating distinct boundaries. The design prioritizes the fluidity between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing residents to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty surrounding their homes. Despite providing a sense of privacy, these residences also ensure unobstructed views towards the sea, creating a harmonious balance between seclusion and the breathtaking vistas that define the Corfu experience. Personal Contribution: SD, DD, CD, communication and appointments with consultants and clients, code research, hand sketching, drawings in Autocad, Archicad, modeling in Rhino and 3Ds Max, and 3D rendering in Vray and Corona.

ALUMINUM SPLINES ATHENS, GREECE, 2022
Architecture: Kordas Architects Lead Principal: Aristides Kordas Project Architect: Angeliki Labada Architect: Anastasis Dimokas Renderings: Anastasis Dimokas Photos: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: The project involves the revitalization of a showroom and offices for an existing Aluminum and Steel construction company on Kifisias Avenue. The primary challenge in this renovation lies in upgrading the showroom's layout and maximizing visibility. The overarching concept seeks to transform the showroom and office volume into a luminous, transparent box. To achieve this vision, a high-contrast ribbon is strategically employed, functioning both as a divider between the two levels and as a backdrop for showcasing the company's branding and signage. Linear lights, thoughtfully placed along the facade and within the showroom and offices, accentuate this design gesture. The result is a dynamic and visually striking transformation that not only enhances the spatial layout but also reinforces the company's identity through a well-integrated and illuminated design.

EARTHY CURVES ATHENS, GREECE, 2020
Architecture: Kordas Architects Lead Principal: Aristides Kordas Architect: Anastasis Dimokas Renderings: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: Nestled in the tranquil and warm suburb of Kifissia in Athens, this 4-story apartment design embraces the ethos of its surroundings. With a primary focus on maximizing the built space for residents, the design surpasses the available 300m2, seamlessly adapting to the nature of the area and its earthy, warm tones. A striking element of the design is a substantial wall that boldly separates entrances. This architectural feature serves a dual purpose: it ensures privacy for ground floor residents, who enjoy their private pool and backyard, while also guiding other residents from the open space entrance to the main body of the building. The use of spline balconies and varied shapes introduces a dynamic element to the living experience, preventing potential monotony that might arise from repeated apartment stories on each floor. Throughout the structure, warm materials, from floor to ceiling, create an inviting ambiance, fostering a sense of belonging and comfort for the residents. The result is a residence that not only harmonizes with its environment but also enhances the quality of life for its inhabitants. Personal Contribution: SD, code research, hand sketching, drawings and modeling in Autocad, Archicad, Rhino, rendering in 3Ds Max with Corona. PROFESSIONAL WORK: Residential

MIAMI TRIANGLE MIAMI, FLORIDA, USA, 2019
Architecture: X-Architecture Lead Principal: Pavlos Xanthopoulos Architect: Anastasis Dimokas Renderings: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: Situated in the vibrant landscape of Miami, Florida, this residence boasts a distinctive and innovative shape. The triangular trapezoid configuration of the site, coupled with the bustling front road, has inspired a unique triangular design for the house, optimizing the available backyard and exterior space. The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living is accentuated through the application of Boolean operations, including a striking subtraction of a giant sphere, resulting in a grand atrium, locally referred to as a "hacienda." This daring approach of subtracting spheres is not only a defining feature in the interior atrium but also extends to the facade and the rooftop of this two-story residence, culminating in an inclined terrace. The warm tones selected for the exterior harmonize the residence with its natural context and the surrounding buildings, creating a visually cohesive and aesthetically pleasing addition to the dynamic Miami landscape.

Description: This apartment undergoes a transformative journey, embracing a design ethos that radiates warmth and hospitality to its new inhabitants. Raw-looking materials take center stage, emphasizing the importance of maintaining their original and untouched aesthetic. The design decision to curve the house seamlessly from floor to ceiling extends to custom-made tables and the kitchen, embodying a deliberate choice to enhance the living experience. The curvilinear design not only adds a distinctive visual appeal but also contributes to a sense of fluidity and comfort within the living space. This intentional curvature, extending from structural elements to functional furnishings, creates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. The commitment to preserving the raw authenticity of materials further reinforces the apartment's unique character, offering a home that is both aesthetically striking and inherently welcoming.

TOURISTIC HOUSING KIMOLOS, GREECE, 2017
Architecture: Anastasis Dimokas Advisors: Sofia Tsiraki, Tilemachos Andrianopoulos
Description: The escalating influx of visitors to Greece underscores tourism as a primary driver for architectural development. With an annual increase of 5% in global travelers seeking the allure of unspoiled landscapes, there is a corresponding surge in the demand for hotels and private summer residences. However, this tourism boom brings forth a critical threat: the potential destruction of coastlines and the environment through the construction of largescale, all-inclusive hotels and mega structures along the shores. This project aims to present a contemporary model of tourist housing that aligns with current human needs while respecting its contextual surroundings. Its adaptability to diverse locations stems from its capacity to seamlessly integrate with the natural topography. The building's form not only harmonizes with its environment but draws inspiration from it. Utilizing the ancient technique of a linear dry-stone wall, traditionally employed on the island for ground leveling, the design minimally alters the landscape both morphologically and aesthetically. The architectural outcome places rooms at the forefront, while five communal/public spaces are situated at the rear of this linear hotel. These communal areas not only enhance the local living experience but also encourage meaningful human interactions, contributing to a more enriching and sustainable form of tourism. ACADEMIC WORK: NTUA, Master Thesis, Hospitality
SOUTH VIEW
ADAPTATION
The complex is adjusted to conform to the site's elevation, resulting in a unified, single-level living space. The incorporation of pre-existing dry stone walls emphasizes the importance of seamlessly integrating with the landscape through both leveling and thoughtful material choices.
SHAPING The terrain undergoes a transformation from splines to straight lines, with the elevation and coastline dictating the shape of the building.
SYMMETRY
Two identical components, seamlessly integrated into the landscape, are created with smoothed edges. The uniformity of angles emphasizes the importance of symmetry, balance, rhythm, and repetition in the design. Access points and perspectives are thoughtfully introduced through strategic fractures in the complex, enhancing both entryways and visual observations. GYPSUM CONCEPT MODELS 1:1000

STAIRWAY TO MUSIC 2012
Architecture: Anastasis Dimokas Advisors: Sofia Tsiraki, Tasos Biris
Description: This project seamlessly merges the realms of music and architecture, aiming to articulate the "shape of music" within a predetermined space. The challenge is to delineate this musical form along an inclined route, accentuating its counterpoint techniques. To achieve this, three-dimensional representations of soundwaves, mimicking the essence of music, are generated and molded into a twisting and turning rectangular orange form within the defined space. The resulting twisted box, representing the journey through music, is then subtracted from the space, leaving behind a dynamic pathway. Transparent glass layers are strategically employed to signify time layers, each corresponding to seconds, minutes, or hours. Stairs facilitate the transition between these temporal layers, providing a fluid passage through the musical experience. The essence of music, defined by counterpoint techniques such as crescendo, decrescendo, inversion, opposition, repetition, variant, and accelerando, becomes the language through which architectural design is articulated. This innovative approach transforms counterpoint into a tangible and visually compelling stairway, creating a unique and immersive architectural representation of the interplay between music and space.

MARTIAN AIR CAPSULE MARS, 2021
Architecture: Anastasis Dimokas Advisor: Maria Paz Gutierrez
Description: In response to the course's futuristic mandate for a biotic/abiotic air detoxification capsule set 50 years ahead, the Martian Air Capsule project is envisioned to address the pressing need for detoxifying the air within the subterranean layers of future Martian habitats by 2071. Given that Mars's atmosphere is predominantly composed of 95% carbon dioxide, the likelihood of contamination in the underground sections of colonization is significant. The proposed air filtration system utilizes innovative patterns that dynamically open or close in response to the concentration of CO2, allowing algae to thrive or retract based on real-time sensor readings. The intricate pattern, drawing inspiration from Erwin Hauer's design principles, is crafted from basalt, the primary abundant rock on Mars, which also conveniently exists on Earth. This material choice allows for versatile experimentation and adaptability. Within the pattern, spaces are intentionally provided for algae to grow and weave, actively reducing CO2 levels through natural processes. As humanity embarks on continuous projects and research endeavors for Mars exploration, the Martian Air Capsule aims not only to secure the survival of future generations in the event of a global catastrophe on Earth but also underscores the challenges inherent in planetary colonization. Ultimately, the project seeks to raise awareness about the complexities and difficulties associated with colonizing another planet, emphasizing the critical importance of preserving and appreciating our home planet, Earth.

Description: Northern California is anticipated to have a severe increase in flooding and air pollution from wildfires rise in the next decades exacerbated by the extreme depletion of its saltmarshes. In response, we must accelerate construction materials innovation with decontamination capacities that foment wetland recovery. This class explores this aim through the design-built of a future biodegradable portable unit through a radically new construction system design from engineering a native California grass for synergistic air detoxification and water resistance properties. Bundled tule components in compression and tension were designed through integrated human-robotic design and fabrication to balance each other for structural stability of the membrane-shell hybrid structure. In conjunction, the class prototyped and confirmed the capacity of tule to deter wildfire smoke and provide good water uptake addressing both flooding and wildfire site challenges. Indoor air detoxification is accomplished by the biotic (metabolic) removal of contaminants through the tule’s root system. Consequently, the class developed a radically new construction detail that enables grass-based tectonics for synergistic air contaminant removal and lightweight structural capacity through human-robotic interface strategies.

EMBRACING
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, USA, 2021
Architecture: Anastasis Dimokas, Anson Jacob, Denise Heredia, Sarah Chen Renders: Anastasis Dimokas Advisor: Simon Schleicher
Description: The course's exploration into the interplay between geometry and structural behavior prompts the design initiative for the courtyard at the College of Environmental Design. This space is envisioned as a versatile classroom and working area for students who frequently gather there. The primary consideration stems from Berkeley's predominantly sunny climate, with a focus on devising a system that provides shade. Sustainability and resilience guide the selection of materials, leading to the choice of an ivy-climbing tree for natural roofing and flexible pieces of bamboo or plywood forming the primary structure. The design process involves utilizing computational tools such as Kangaroo and Karamba to refine the structural dimensions and piece arrangements. The final outcome ensures optimal protection from the sun while promoting environmental consciousness. A key aspect of the design revolves around the creation of a welcoming and enclosed working space. Benches, intricately designed to follow the form of the structure, facilitate a sense of enclosure without hindering visual or auditory connections. These embracing benches create a unique atmosphere for teaching and working outdoors. Two open passages offer easy entry and exit. Furthermore, circular brick benches, arranged amphitheatrically, complement the existing green lawn. This incorporation of brick resonates with the courtyard's current material palette, maintaining continuity with the surroundings. The resulting outdoor classroom not only meets functional needs but also enhances the overall aesthetic and experiential qualities of the College of Environmental Design's courtyard.

METROPOLIS
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, USA, 2022
Architecture: Anastasis Dimokas
Description: The Greek Orthodox Church of America, in collaboration with the Metropolis of San Francisco Metropolis, generously supported my pursuit of Architecture at UC Berkeley. As an aspiring architect, I felt compelled to express my gratitude in a tangible way that resonated with our values. Upon my initial visit to the Metropolis following a sunny Sunday liturgy, I was warmly embraced by individuals of Greek origin, creating an immediate sense of home to newcomers from abroad like myself. This welcoming atmosphere, particularly evident on the vibrant patio surrounding the Metropolis on Valencia Street in San Francisco, sparked the inception of my design concept. In stark contrast to the less inviting aspects of the city, this feeling of home served as a foundation for my design thinking. Utilizing 3D scanning and photogrammetry, both the church and its urban surroundings were captured and later 3D printed as a white repetitive representation, originating from the very same patio that acted as a welcoming pole. The white represents the purity that the church fosters, and the concrete represents the "roughness" of the city, highlighting and contrasting the differences between these two conditions. The resulting structure, with a 22-inch diameter, stands as a unique and meaningful token of appreciation. The intricate 3D-printed model, conceived from the narrative of the welcoming experience, was ingeniously divided into smaller components seamlessly connected by curved lines. Unlike conventional "pizza-cut" divisions, these subtle curves defy easy detection by the human eye, concealing the joinery system and adding to the seamlessness of the final piece. This representation now graces the Metropolis at 245 Valencia Street in San Francisco, serving as a testament to the symbiosis between architecture, gratitude, and the spirit of welcome.

Moreover, a smaller creation/gift was conceived for His Eminence/Metropolitan, placing emphasis on the connection between Orthodox religion and architecture. The challenge was to devise something that encapsulates the essence of both, manifesting as an abstract structure on a bookshelf scale. The resulting design features intentionally tilted walls that guide the viewer towards an enclosed space, within which the "visitor's" eye discerns a cross pointing to the cardinal directions of North, South, West, and East. The subtraction of crosses within the walls introduces a play of light and shadow, enhancing the religious symbolism embedded in the design. This scaled-down creation serves as a tangible representation of the profound connection between Orthodox spirituality and architectural elements, providing a thoughtful and meaningful gift for Metropolitan Gerasimos.
