Situated at a northern part of Aegina named “Souvala”, this summer house was designed to accommodate a family of four, along with their friends. This house is built on a plot with a steep slope overlooking the sea in a range of more than 180 degrees.
The building consists of three levels: the basement with the guests’ house and the auxiliary spaces, the ground floor where the main entrance of the house is located along the living room, kitchen, dining room and a W.C. and finally the first floor, where one can find the two bedrooms with their bathroom.
An axis that follows the East-West orientation divides the house, thus separating the main from the auxiliary uses. This axis, being a strong element, is grey stone wall and its end in the West, is essentially transformed into the boundary wall of the house, while creating a strong boundary of the property to the road. At the same time, and due to the plot’s steep slope, the house’s various levels are connected directly to corresponding outdoor spaces, thus providing direct contact with nature.
The building follows a strong cubistic form of white plastered volumes while various metallic elements of anthracite colour, such as pergolas, fireplace chimneys, etc., complete its geometry, while creating a strong contrast with the building’s white volumes.
