Project Description:

The main goal of the architectural design was to organize the touristic residences into a single architectural ensemble, maintaining for each residence the privacy and autonomy as well as the unobstructed view to the north and specifically the aquatic habitat of the Acheron River. Particular emphasis was given to the formation of the ensemble of the four residences in such a way that they visually constitute an architectural volume, that is, a single ground-floor building along with the formation of semi-outdoor spaces, canopies and pergolas that unify the residences while the roofs of the residences protrude discreetly.

Accordingly, the basic design principle was the privacy of the users, which is achieved by mirroring the floor plan of each residence in relation to the two neighboring residences, so that both the outdoor spaces and the openings of the residences face different directions and direct visual contact between the residences is being avoided. This architectural approach seeks to maximize the view of each residence, which is reinforced by the topography of the plot and the placement of each residence at different level.

The residences follow the same organization of the main spaces on successive levels (ground floor and attic), where the living room, kitchen, bedrooms and the bathrooms are located to serve the users. Particular emphasis has been placed on the design of the exterior spaces of the residences with the corresponding placement of outdoor living and recreation areas, as well as on the general selection of building materials.
