Three Summer Residences Complex in Paros

Three Summer Residences Complex in Paros

The plot is located in Ambelas of Paros Island. It is quadrilateral-shaped with total area of ​​10,040 sq.m and access from S-W by an existing rural road. It is coastal with a privileged N-E sea front of 71 m. The plot is accessed from the short front of the quadrilateral to the west. The relief of the plot has a slight slope of 12%. Due to its location, it has limited building capacity and is subject to special Building – Morphological conditions that accompany the Cycladic islands.

 

The wish of the owner and his 4-membered family was for the building of a total area of ​​405 sq.m with 205 sq.m basements, to function as a single space, providing the flexibility to be divided into three Independent Houses (A-B-C) in the future. The C Residence would compose the Guest House having a surface on the ground floor of 95 sqm. It consisted of kitchen, living room, bedroom with bathroom and semi-outdoor area.

Due to the relatively gentle slope of the plot, the obligation to maintain a distance of 15.00 m from the lateral boundaries of the plot and the view to the sea, a route starting from the West entrance towards NE was created. This route had a gentle slope of 6% in order to accommodate all users and a parking space with capacity of six vehicles. Then, with a combination of 6% sloped ramps and sets of four steps, it crossed the area of ​​the guest house (C) and ended up to the entrances of houses A and B, accessed through a central courtyard.

On the ground floor of houses A and B the main living room  was located, accessed from the courtyard. To the right of the entrance, there was the kitchen with the dining room, the guests’ restroom, a bedroom with a bathroom and a staircase that led to the basement and to the first floor as well. To the left there was a secondary living room, an office space, a bathroom, and a small kitchen. The first floor included a bedroom with a bathroom and a small balcony.

Within the limits provided by the building regulations, an outdoor pool measuring 16.00×6.50 mm was designed. The alternation of the loggias (semi-outdoor spaces) with the closed white volumes of the guest rooms, onthe route to the seafront to the left of the central courtyard, enhances the morphology of the complex.
