PORTFOLIO ALEXANDROS MAGANIOTIS ARCHITECT NTUA • MArch UCL
preface >
I have worked as a freelance architect and interior designer in Athens for more than ten years, in that time I have worked for well known Architectural practices on large scale projects. During each project I was involved in all stages of the design and assisting in the supervision of the construction stages, ranging from private residencies, hotels, retail outlets, department stores and restaurants. I have also been involved in projects as a visual artist and designer. In 2010 I created an artist book entitled First Love, based on Beckett’s novel. In the last couple of years I have participated in art exhibitions travelling to Vienna, Japan, Berlin, St Petersburg and London. As a designer I worked on several projects in the creation of 3D constructions using mixed media for window display projects in Athens.

PROJECT: PRIVATE RESIDENCY WITH SWIMMING POOL
The design idea was a central linear gallery space that functions as the core of the house with all the other functions attached on it. The owner was an art collector so this gallery was a dominant feature for him. AREA: House: 400m², Site: 16.000m² LOCATION: KIOURKA, ATTIKI YEAR OF COMPLETION: 2003

PROJECT: ARCHITECT’S APARTMENT
Situated in Glyfada a sea-side suburb of Athens this is the 2nd floor apartment in a private residencies building. The concrete structure was built from the 1970s but everything was re-designed and constructed from 2004-08. I was the architect in charge of the construction and designed the layout of the space and all the fixtures, selected all the furniture and the covering materials. The design idea was to have an open space but also create niches for all the different functions; the kitchen, the office area and the guest room. All these spaces overlook to the main space of the living room that has wall to wall openings on both sides. The materials used were chosen in order to provide a calm, neutral background for the art work and the objects. The floor is white washed beech, the fireplace mask is from unpolished marble and the color on the walls light mint green.
