Project 181 | Athanasios Tzokas

The inclined and triangular plot specified the house location. The building is placed in the center of the plot and in parallel to the contour lines, in such a way that all the spaces have an unhindered view towards the Mediterranean Gulf. 

In order, to achieve privacy between the main residence and the guest house, the volumes were detached, by creating in- between a covered veranda. That is where a new meeting point was created between the house entrances.

Due to the limit of the plot’s length, a part of the main house was moved to the first floor. The first-floor volume was extended in order to shade the underlying living spaces of the main house.

The parallelogram volume of the first floor separates the flat roof in a private terrace, which has access only from the master bedroom, and a public meeting point for the owners and their guests, providing view on the mountain and the sea.

The ground-floor and the first-floor volumes are tightly differentiated by the contrast to the selection of their materials between the stone and the white plaster.

Two other apartments are hosted in the basement, each with an independent entrance.

The building blocks have small openings on the eastern side to isolate them from the road. While, on the contrary, on the other sides the openings are much bigger, providing direct connection of indoor spaces with nature.

The pool has been placed at the lowest level and has direct access from the open space barbeque, where the pergolas and the terraced landscaping complete the architectural design.
