CIELO E MARE VILLAS

It is a plot of land of 5 acres located outside the Settlement "Platanos" of the Municipality of Kissamos. The plot is located at an altitude of 250 meters from the sea, has an amphitheatrical slope and offers unobstructed views to the beach of Falassarna. Falassarna is an area included in the Natura 2000 network, is one of the most popular destinations in Crete and its beach is one of the most famous in Europe.

The aim of the architectural study was to design three independent stone-built residences of superior energy class, which will offer complete privacy and will be fully integrated into the special natural environment of the area. Two of the three residences are similar in terms of morphology and construction, while the third residence is underground. The placement of the houses follows the natural slope of the plot, the highest point of which is in the east and the lowest in the west.

Two of the three residences have an area of 165sq.m. each, are two-storey and consist of an open plan kitchen-living-dining room, a bedroom and a shared bathroom on the ground floor and two bedrooms with private bathrooms on the first floor. Between these two houses, the cave house has been placed, which has a surface area of 50sqm and includes an open-plan kitchen-living room-bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. All the houses have private swimming pools. The identical buildings are made of stone and their roofs are pitched with thermal insulation coating.

Due to the natural slope of the plot and the requirements of the project, a special environmental study was carried out, which includes the design of numerous configurations, combined with a special planting study. The landscaping design ensures independent access to each house individually.

The decoration of the houses suggests creating a holiday atmosphere by choosing materials in light tones, discreet light constructions and summer fabrics. The natural wood, white lacquer, oak and glass give the space a subtle luxury and at the same time create a strong summer mood. All spaces include furniture designed by the study team. Special constructions (such as open wardrobes etc.) have been designed for all bedrooms and common areas.
