Description
The two residences are developed on a plot of land of 2,900m2 in Fellos, Andros, with a South-West orientation and a view of the Gulf of Fellos. The organization of the two residences is identical: The living room and the dining room are organized in an open plan space on the ground floor level and have direct access to the outside area through a three-leaf frame.
The swimming pool has been a central element of the resident’s composition and life. It develops on the lower plateau, parallel to the volume of the living-dining room and in direct relation to these spaces. The exterior spaces of the two villas are separated by a wall on which a pergola is located, and ensures sufficient privacy for the residents. Due to the strong northern winds in the area, it was considered essential to create sheltered outdoor spaces.
The volumes follow the simple and minimal architecture of the Cyclades and the whole composition fits perfectly into the natural landscape. The openings were designed in each space, to adequately integrate the interior with the exterior and frame views by letting light in but keeping out the intense summer sun. The facade is a mixed construction which consists of a body, of reinforced concrete and external and internal perimeters of stone masonry. On the outside, the stone could be painted white, while on the inside it is plastered, while the final surface of the parapets of the roofs is made of visible concrete.
The villa is a 120 m² 2-level construction. The villa can be configured to a 2 or 3 bedroom interior. The ground floor consists of an open plan kitchen, a living room facing the terrace, a guest WC and an optional master ensuite bedroom. The first floor includes 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is a big balcony on the first floor accessible from both bedrooms, and a planted roof with an outdoor shower. The outdoor area includes a 30 m² pool with an outdoor shower, a shaded deck, a terrace with a protected outdoor dining area under a pergola and plantation.
