The villa is located on the outskirts of the city of Karditsa, in Thessaly. The characteristics of the place were a great inspiration. Moreover, the design of building refers to two axes. The semi-urban environment of the city and the natural landscape with the rich mountainous terrain.
The house consists of a complex of volumes with characteristic prismatic design and pointed roofs. Furthermore, the main entrance design ensures privacy. A diversion of the levels in the ground floor, divides the open plan floor into separate parts. Living room, dining room, kitchen. Equally important was the direct connection of the interior with the exterior. Both at the level of the “formal” and the “daily” living room, which they extend as a natural continuation to the open space.
On the first floor the private areas of the house develop: the bedrooms, the bathrooms and an office-reading room. Moreover, the spaces unfold around a generous double height void, where the staircase also develops.
In addition, the building is also characterized by the use of natural materials, high energy efficiency and technical excellence. The exterior insulation with a special coating style, the wood of special specifications for the external cladding of the ground floor, the floors made of natural stone and wood, extensive plantings and bioclimatic shading, create a harmonious and technically superior building.
