M residence
The M residence is a "monolithic" prism with a hard outer shell and a more fluid organic shaping of the interior. The monastic tackle of the composition dictates an introspective arrangement of the interior spaces around terraces that break the body of the residence into “full and voids”. The living rooms and outdoor patios operate complementary, organizing the life of the house in its center. It is a compact solid, parts of which have been removed, creating gaps that define the courtyards.
The porous prism is the outcome of the combination of 3 typical building typologies of Cycladic architecture.
1:MONASTERY
The phenomenally monolithic outer shell of the building is referenced, as mentioned, to the monastic architecture and it strongly establishes its presence into the landscape.
Instead of the typical monastic arrangement of one central atrium space, the M residence suggests a cluster of 7 courtyards, dispersed between the interior spaces of the residence. Each courtyard responds to each room of the residence.
2.CUBIC ROOMS
The most recognizable sample of Cycladic architecture, the typical white, cybic rooms, is met in the villages s settlements.
In the M residence, all the main spaces are accommodated in such cubic rooms dispersed in the imprint of the main rectangle.
3.CARVED STONE WALLS
In the countryside, finally, we find, scattered, multiple dry stone construction. Their fluid geometry and their relationship with the natural terrain make these constructions integral part of the Cycladic landscape.
The M residence proposes this geometry to connect all the rectangular rooms into a rigid body and create freeform yards. Besides its structural function, this connective tissue made of stone, also hosts all the secondary uses of the house (bathrooms, corridors, etc.).
