Private Residence In Kalloni, Lesvos
The project is about a private residence in Kalloni, located in the island of Lesvos, Greece. Designing this residence was a challenging task, since the site is located inside a protected archeological site. OFFICETWENTYFIVEARCHITECTS’ intension was to design a house that meets the needs of the owner, minimizes its visual impact and radiates contemporary architecture. Three distinct volumes define the design of the house. The choice of simple architectural lines, the large glass surfaces that “lighten” the building and the use of light olive green paint on the exterior walls met the requirements set from the beginning. The residence is developed in two levels and has also a basement. The ground floor hosts the living areas along with two bedrooms while on the upper floor one can find the master bedroom. The double height in the living room area allows the visual connection between the last and the master bedroom and lets the natural light in on both floors.

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.
