5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
On a hill, overlooking one of the most exquisite shorelines of Ios, we were assigned to design a villa of tourist purpose. The concept of the design is oriented towards agritourism and the user’s direct contact with nature.
The main aim of this architectural project is to design a rental unit that will be as integrated and harmonious with the natural landscape as possible. The building volume is placed at the top of the hill to achieve optimal views towards the coastline at Magganari. The main spaces located at the core of the building serve as the focal point of the architectural composition. They are arranged in a square layout, with corridors branching out from them leading to the sleeping quarters and secondary spaces of the villa. Surrounding the main core of the building are communal outdoor spaces, covered by some wooden pergolas.
The human scale design of this large structure is achieved by the extensive fragmentation of its mass to smaller stone volumes, which vary in height, creating, at the same time, an interesting interplay of light and shadow.
Simultaneously, the design aims to maintain the balance and magic of the landscape when viewed from the beach of Magganari towards the hill. To achieve this goal, the ground-level volumes are shaped following the natural inclination of the hill, combined with the extensive use of local stone, contributing to the integration of the building into the arid and rocky landscape of Ios, combined with other materials in earthy tones.
