Other Projects by Zannettos Architects
V.V Residence
Aglantzia, Cyprus
This project was
designed by using as the point of origin, as an architectural idea, the notion
of symbiosis. Symbiosis not only seen as a social phenomenon, but as a
biological (as seen in nature) phenomenon as well. The spaces were thus
categorised not only by their common use, but by who the primary user would be
as well. The clients were interviewed individually in order for the architect
to understand their unique ways of functioning, relaxing and “playing” within
their home as well as how they interact with each other.The clients as individuals became the different
poles around which different parts of the house were created and grew. Their
interaction became the force that brought the design to an integrated whole.
The architectural volumes, elements, materials in both the interior and
exterior were designed through this bi-polar notion.A secondary idea that also had a significant role
in the creation of the building is the interchangeability between the inside
and outside, an idea that is evident in all our projects. In this particular
project, due to the “V-shaped” plan, the transition between inside and outside
occurs linearly four different times, a fact that required special care in
designing the openings and maintaining the views from different points within
and outside the house. As a result the occupant has undisturbed view of
each space and each part of the garden no matter where he/she is located. Large
pergolas and sun shelters occupy some of the facades, in order to create
exterior sub-spaces as seen in the plan. The primary wall materials are
concrete, stone, wood and glass. The materials were chosen and used in a way
that enhances both the above ideas, celebrating the transitions between inside
and outside. Floors are made of wood and ceramic which also originate outside,
continue without any change through the house and then re-emerge on the other
side of the house to cover the swimming pool area.The house was completed in June 2007.
