360 DOUBLE VILLA • GLASGOW • COMPETITION ENTRY
The 360° Double Villa is an inspired of the Villa Maria complex of two identical houses, that are composed in such a way to be perceived as one.
The total surface of the building is 428 sqm - which is the equivalent of 214 m2 for each residence.
The building’s diameter is 26 m with an atrium of 165 sqm surface and 14.5 m diameter.
The inner circulation between the different levels of each house is achieved with a continuous ramp that traverse along the interior’s full length.
“(Maria Villa is)... a wholly unique building wherein two houses are identified as one. (...) the ‘Double Villa’ consists of two identical, semi-detached houses, one rotated about the other which imparts to each house the appearance of a large single villa, a quiet conceit or illusion surely not lost on their respective owners nor the architect.”
One of the main characteristics of ancient greek public architecture is the peripteral temple and the 360° view of the buidings. Many ancient greek houses centred on a wide passage which ran the length of the house and opened at one side onto a small courtyard which admitted light and air. Larger houses had a fully developed peristyle courtyard at the centre, with the rooms arranged around it.
Ancient greek architecture is distinguished by its highly formalised characteristics, both of structure and decoration. The elevation of Greek temples is always subdivided in three zones:
the crepidoma, the columns and the entablature.
The typical British urban house or semi-detached house usually consists of two or three floors. The 360° double villa is all about two semi detached houses that instead of being organized vertically they are designed to function horizontally due to their linear form.
The two linear residences transform into two semi circular shapes that together form an one entity building with an atrium - inner courtyard.
Part of each residence is lifted in order to provide access into the atrium - inner courtyard, views to the city and sheltered exterior spaces.
Furthermore, in accordance to the simple and linear development of the houses’ floorplans, the whole building itself follows a clear and austere form, originating from the simplicity and purity of ancient greek architecture, that restrained proportions and lacked extreme gestures.
