VILLA AGLAEA

On a plot of 1.1 hectares, within the settlement "Xirokampi" of the Municipality of Platanias, a holiday home of 150sq.m. was designed.
The plot, located within the settlement "Xirokampi", is elongated, with a face of 15m. on a municipal street. The slope of the plot is gentle, with the highest elevation being to the west of the plot and the lowest to the east.

The aim of the architectural study was to design a ground floor residence with a swimming pool for tourist use. The building is proposed to be located on the site so that it has an eastern orientation. It is a ground floor building which includes 3 bedrooms with private bathrooms and an open plan kitchen-living-dining room. The common functions of the residence are located to the north and the private functions to the south.

A characteristic feature is the large openings of the house towards the east and the surrounding area. The entrance to the building is from the southern part of the plot, where an open-air parking area has been placed. The residence has a swimming pool of 60sq.m. as well as outdoor seating areas, barbeque and space around the swimming pool.

The materials chosen for the construction of the house are concrete, stone and wood. The decoration was based on creating a holiday atmosphere, choosing textures and materials in beige tones. For the basic furnishings, natural wood has been chosen as the dominant material. Special structures such as wardrobes, headboards and boudoir have been designed by the design team.
