It is about the construction of 28 tourist furnished houses on 6 neighboring plots of land. The desire of the property owners was to implement a common architectural program for all the projects. A design philosophy that would govern all projects and bring them together like the pieces of a puzzle. Three building zones are proposed - one dense near the municipal road - one thinner along the hill and one with cave dwellings near the stream. By creating these zones and using the difference in altitude, an unobstructed sea-view is achieved for all the houses. The design of the houses is kept minimal without reproducing or imitating ordinary morphological elements. It is characterized by simple, strict lines that are reflected in monolithic prismatic structures on the upper side of the plots and low building volumes on the lower side in an effort to apply some hierarchy into the design with the main density of the built areas to be distributed near the municipal road thinning out while moving away from it. A reception area-restaurant with swimming pools is also provided for the service of the complex.
This project has been honored with the Silver Award of the 2021 Property Awards in the category of Luxury Tourist Homes.
