Swimmers’ Residence_ Design in Narrow Plot
In a long & narrow property close to the sea, the architect designed a vacation
residence for a couple of swimmers that would also occasionally
be used as a bnb rental. The clients desired a spacious house (approximately
200 square meters) that would make them feel like they were
sailing on a boat. They requested two fully autonomous master suites
for two couples as well as large living areas where they could spend
quality time with friends on weekends. The clients enjoy the plot’s link
with the sea, so they imagined a huge veranda at the front, and a workout
swimming pool that resembles a continuation of the sea.
The width of the plot, the orientation, the often windy climate and the
emphasis on the view, were among the most challenging aspects of
the design process. The final architectural study proposed a complex
of building volumes arranged along the plot, with a parallel system of
flat roofing pergolas connecting them. As a result, construction openings
were organized linearly throughout the building to develop multiple
perspectives and layers of transparency. Smaller or larger courtyards,
some of them protected from the wind and others exposed to the view,
would offer many experiences in the owners’ everyday life. The linear
Olympic-size swimming pool at the plot’s southeastern border serves
as a powerful axis, resulting in various spatial and volume interactions.
The walls designed on the boundaries offer privacy and wind protection
for the courtyards while some carefully selected deep cuts in their bodies
highlight some attractive view frames. Finally, the primary architectural
objective would be to recreate the boat experience by discovering
various types of relationships with the water, sky, nature, and sea view.
