Δ(house) is a private residence in the southern suburbs of Athens.
The architecture of the house is inspired by the principle of “Δx”, meaning “the change in movement” in math. The intention of this particular layout was to create a synergy with the human body movement into the space, inspired by Aristotle, who first assessed that space is a product of the intertwined relationship between body and objects.
The forms which compile the architecture of the house reveal the potential of human movement among them. They change the light conditions, the perspective and the orientation of the user.
