Vassili residence

Here's a project from a few months ago, a house in Deftera village. It is situated on a cliff, one that forms a rather shap corner. The plot was right on that corner, something that we used to generate the form of the building. On plan, we followed the contour lines, to create the main enclosure of the private spaces, the territory of the house.

This is a good example of a concept that is derived from the context, in this case the physical context, the topography of the site. The proposed building has a V-shape, as a result of this. The fact that is the initial of the client (Vassilis) is completely coincidential.

One leg of the V (western) houses the three bedrooms, with bathrooms. The other leg (eastern) contains the living spaces: dining room, kitchen, seating areas, lounge. The building is broken up by voids. All of these look down into the basement, and are pieces of a garden, with trees growing up through the house. Inside the V is a sheltered outdoor area, with an overflowing swimming pool.

I think thats one image too many....oh...nevermind
