The inclined plot is facing the Euboean Gulf. The building stretches along the diagonal, inscribed in a triangle so as to associate to the outdoor space and the view, while simultaneously maintaining a distance from the adjacent plots. It’s spaces revolve on two levels -the first one taking up the entrance hall, while the living room and the sleeping quarters are found on the second. The main areas of the residence are located on the perimeter of an atrium that houses its internal courtyard. The living spaces are placed to the southwest and are connected to the sleeping quarters via internal corridors. The first level hosts the entrance, the parking and other underground supportive spaces: swimming pool infrastructure, a cellar and storage. The structure of the building is of reinforced concrete. Painted with earthy, absorbent paint, it remains untreated on roofs, insulated and covered with dry-laid panels on the inside, accompanied by brick-walls. The frames are made of bronze-coloured aluminum, double glazed, with an outer roller, along a few fixed glass panels. An elongated curved shaped outdoor space is a further expansion of the daytime space to the southwest, hosting a pergola of metallic elements of the same shape. The swimming pool refers to the latter and is formed in a sculptural way, also from visible uncoated concrete. Its circular shape works in addition to the triangular prism - freely placed into the surrounding countryside. Uncovered space is formed by surfaces of pressed or natural soil appropriately planted with dry-heat shrubs and trees.
