Villa Aora

This holiday home is situated on a 1.2-acre plot just outside the settlement of Kavousi in the Municipality of Kissamos. The design features an elongated structure that follows the natural shape and orientation of the land, ensuring uninterrupted views of the sea.

The concept behind the design was to create a country house that seamlessly blends into the natural Cretan landscape. The building's long, narrow form faces northwest, offering stunning sea views. The floor plan is divided into smaller sections to provide greater privacy between different areas while also giving the building a more dynamic appearance.

The main entrance leads into an open-plan ground floor that includes the living room, dining room, and kitchen, as well as two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. The first floor is split across two levels, where three additional bedrooms, all with private bathrooms, are located.

The design of the surrounding area focused on providing easy access to the landscaped parts of the plot while blending the features naturally into the slope of the land. The swimming pool is positioned northwest of the building, running parallel to its length and level with the house.

The house was built using energy-efficient materials, featuring a composite structure with a reinforced concrete framework and masonry infill. The exterior finishes include grey coatings on the ground floor and white on the first floor. For the balustrades, two materials were selected: glass panels at the front to preserve the sea views, and perforated white panels on the sides to maintain privacy. A metal pergola was also added on the southwestern side of the house.
