Residence in Dani

R e s i d e n c e i n D a n i
The residence is characterized by a simple, yet rich Mediterranean vocabulary.
In the smaller volume, three independent guest rooms with private bathrooms are arranged. The openings are rhythmically placed on the facade, offering views of the sea.
The space between the two volumes houses a living room, a dining room and a BBQ area.
Between the two volumes, an area protected from the wind is created, which is shaded by a pergola with reeds.
Two corridors, parallel to the longest sides of the main building, with rhythmically placed openings, create a transitional area between the indoor and outdoor spaces, offering views of the garden and the sea.
For the outdoor spaces, industrial flooring in an earthy hue was used. The metal and reed pergolas provide necessary protection from the sun while remaining light and delicate, allowing the air to circulate. The pool sits in front of the main building creating a visual continuity with the sea.
The clean and simple design reflects at the interiors as well.
Wood was used for the construction of the furniture and the window frames.
Stone walls, pathways, and greenery interconnect the two building volumes, creating the primary outdoor living spaces.
The swimming pool is placed parallel to the contour lines, in front of the main house and surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation.

CONCEPT

Set at the western coast of Syros, in the region of Dani, a residence comes to life through a simple yet rich Mediterranean vocabulary. Comprising two distinct rectangular volumes, this dwelling blends open and shaded spaces, light, wind, and panoramic views. The parallel alignment of the two structures follows the natural terrain slope, housing a main residence and three guest rooms. Residents can relish the tranquility of the area and gaze upon the sea from both the indoor and outdoor spaces.

 

Pergolas, stone walls, pathways, and greenery interconnect the two building volumes, creating the primary outdoor living spaces. Between the two building volumes shelters a protected area under a rich pergola by reeds. This area serves as the core of the outdoor living, accommodating dining space, BBQ and living area. The pool sits in front of the main building creating a visual continuity with the sea.

 

The clean and simple design reflects at the interiors as well. Two corridors, parallel to the longest sides of the main building, with rhythmically placed openings, create a transitional area between the indoor and outdoor spaces, offering views of the garden and the sea. The kitchen and bedroom are situated at the two ends of the rectangular volume, allowing the living room and dining area to be the heart of the residence.

In the smaller volume, three independent guest rooms with private bathrooms are arranged. The openings are rhythmically placed on the facade, offering views of the sea.

 

The stonework with invisible joints accompanies the white plastered volumes of the building and serves as the main material for the outdoor space. Natural wood was used for the window frames and the construction of the indoor furniture. The interior flooring is covered with marble, complementing the earthy and natural ambiance of the house. For the outdoor spaces, industrial flooring in an earthy hue was used. The metal and reed pergolas provide necessary protection from the sun while remaining light and delicate, allowing the air to circulate.
