Villa Aora

This holiday home was designed on a plot of 1.2 acres, outside the settlement "Kavousi" of the Municipality of Kissamos. It is an elongated volume placed along the length of the plot following the shape and orientation of the plot, ensuring unobstructed views to the sea.

The central idea is the design of a country house, fully integrated into the natural Cretan landscape. The building is elongated and has a northwestern orientation with a view to the sea. The floor is split into smaller volumes in order to achieve greater functional privacy between them, while at the same time giving the form of the building a dynamic character.

The entrance to the house is from the ground floor in an open plan area that includes the living room, the dining room and the kitchen as well as two bedrooms with private bathrooms. The first floor is organized in two levels where there are 3 bedrooms with private bathrooms.

The design of the surrounding area was based on easy access to the landscaped areas of the plot and the integration of the configurations into the natural slope of the ground. The swimming pool is located to the northwest of the building, parallel to its longitudinal axis and flush with it.

The construction of the house was made with materials of optimal energy efficiency, with a composite load-bearing structure of reinforced concrete and filled with masonry. The coatings applied are grey for the ground floor and white for the first floor. Two materials were chosen for the parapets of the balustrades, glass parapets on the front so as not to obstruct the sea view and perforated white panels on the sides to ensure privacy. A metal pergola was constructed on its southwestern side.
