STATUS
Built
YEAR
2014
SIZE
5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
The introvert building is built on a plot without interesting views, in a suburban settlement of Kos city and unfolds in three levels.
A key concern of the design was to create an intriguing inner core, to which the reception and living areas and the first floor bedrooms, would turn. Simultaneously, the occupants’ privacy had to be ensured against neighbouring properties and the road.
The plot is divided into three parallel zones at plan level. The first zone is defined by the linear building volume, then follows the linear water surface of the swimmingpool and finally,the concrete pergola with a BBQ.
On the vertical axis, the residence is defined by two zones. The ground floor one, with limestone as main material and large glass surfaces, and the floor above it with white plaster as main material, blind walls towards the street and large openings facing the internal courtyard and the view to the sea, seen from the first floor. The reception and living areas, lounge, dining area and sitting area, are arranged linearly and parallel to the axis of the swimming pool.
The fireplace between the dining and sitting areas is suspended from the ceiling so as not to disrupt spatial continuity, with the hearth being visible from every corner of the house, in reference to its primal sense as the centre of the house.
The kitchen is placed in parallel to and behind the living areas, centrally enough so as to provide easy access to them and also maintain some privacy. Transition to the other two levels occurs via a double height space, which freely accommodates the staircase as a vertical sculpture.
This is the first space that the visitor comes across with features of transition, orientation and vertical uplift. The first floor contains the master bedroom with wardrobe and a spacious bathroom, as well as two more bedrooms. Finally, the basement comprises the gym-playroom, a guest room, auxiliary spaces and the parking area.
Chromatically, the warm hues of brown and grey on floors and furniture unify the open plan spaces creating an interesting contrast to the dominant white of the walls and ceiling, and simultaneously adding the necessary warmth to the bright interior.
