House In Neos Marmaras

This is a house in a touristic seaside village of Neos Marmaras, in Sithonia, Halkidiki. The house is designed as a vague connotation of a ship facing the sea.

We designed it, in order to take the most of the view, so the house is widely ‘open’ to its south west side. The site is inclined and faces two streets, one on the top and one at the bottom level of the slope. There are three main house levels and a basement level below them. The main entrance, is at the highest level leading to the living room, kitchen, bathroom and the guest room. An open staircase, leads to the lower level where there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms and the utility room. It has two skins. The first is dark rigid and bold, steadily planted in the ground. The second skin is white, light weighted and tilting its sharp edges towards the sea, in an impose to begin the journey.

This project refers to the design of a ground floor private residence with surrounding fencing, in the farm area of Epanomi (municipality of Thermaikos) which has a total area of 11557.50 sq.m. The ground floor house has been designed and developed based on the topographical details of the area . The building has visual engravings on the southwest, its entrance is located on the northeast and evolves around a outdoor living room. More specifically, the exterior seating area consists of a semi-outdoor area with a pergola, which includes the entrance to the house.

The main living spaces are located in the northwest part of the property. There is the kitchen with the dining room and the living room, as well as two bedrooms and a laundry space. To the southeast there are three guest bedrooms, one with a private bathroom and two with a shared one.

The external staircase located on the main patio leads to an outdoor seating area, which is designed on the roof, with a pergola. On the exterior space of the building one more pergola creates a shading system that serves the outdoor parking space. The outdoor space also hosts a hot tub, in connection to the master bedroom.

The central and connecting element of the composition is the atrium, from which there is access to the all the interior spaces. The design offers privacy where it is needed with large openings to the surrounding view.
