The design of this
house creates a calm and tranquil environment that sustains the functional and
leisurely needs of the owners' contemporary lifestyle, through a modern
architectural approach associated with its time/era and tightly knit to the
local climatic and social environment.
The initial idea was
that of creating a poetic dialogue between inside and outside. Therefore, as
opposed to the traditional modern approach of designing a functional sculpture
in a garden, the house became the frame that surrounds and houses the garden,
providing a contemporary reading of the traditional local courtyard house.
The house is composed
of volumes and surfaces, of varied materials and forms, harmoniously
distributed to create a life that revolves around an inner garden and a
swimming pool, thus, encouraging a visual and physical interaction between
indoor and outdoor, while maintaining privacy and calmness.
Modern techniques were
used in the construction through the use of special glass sections and smart
home systems for easy control and usage. Also, special equipments were used in
the bathrooms and kitchens with minimal detailing. The materials' palette
adopted in the cladding and interiors provide a varied yet harmonious
atmosphere.
