VACATION VILLA IN PYLA

The single storey detached villa is designed for a couple to enjoy with their children and friends their summer holidays. It is located on a steep slope shaped by rock formations, a mature olive trees’ grove and the spectacular view towards the Navarino Bay, on the southwest coast of the Peloponnese peninsula, in the Ionian Sea.

The main point of the design of the stone-built house, apart from its simplicity, was to create a linear house fully integrated within the Greek Mediterranean landscape redefining the boundaries of living between internal and external space. The generous open plan terrace-platform offers a wide sunbathing area close to the swimming pool as well as protected and non-protected outdoor seating areas.

The entrance is followed by a linear corridor leads to the main volume of the building, and which give access to a living-dining and kitchen areas. The two side cubic volumes accommodate the autonomous en-suite master bedroom and the other 2 bedrooms on the other side. Naturally surrounded by the olive grove and rocky landscape, the house provides a large extended semi glazed facade, with a pergola on the centre axis, which offers visual continuity from the indoors to the outdoors.

ΕΞΟΧΙΚΗ ΚΑΤΟΙΚΙΑ ΣΤΗ ΠΥΛΑ

Η ισόγεια εξοχική κατοικία σχεδιάστηκε με βάση τις οικιστικές ανάγκες ενός ζευγαριού για τις καλοκαιρινές τους διακοπές μαζί με τα παιδιά τους και φίλους. Βρίσκεται σε μια απότομη βραχώδη πλαγιά, περιστοιχισμένο από έναν ελαιώνα έχοντας μια θαυμάσια θέα προς τον όρμο του Ναβαρίνου, στην νοτιοδυτική ακτή της Πελοποννήσου, στο Ιόνιο Πέλαγος.

Το κύριο μέρος του σχεδιασμού του πετρόκτιστου κτηρίου, εκτός από την απλότητα, ήταν να δημιουργεί ένα γραμμικό κτήριο πλήρως προσαρμοσμένο στο Ελληνικό Μεσογειακό τοπίο, επαναπροσδιορίζοντας τα όρια της κατοίκισης μεταξύ του εσωτερικού και εξωτερικού χώρου. Η εκτενής αυλή-πλατφόρμα προσφέρει μια μεγάλη περιοχή για ηλιοθεραπεία δίπλα στην πισίνα καθώς και χώρους καθιστικού υπαίθριους και ημιυπαίθριους.

Η είσοδος ακολουθείται από έναν γραμμικό διάδρομο που οδηγεί στο κύριο μέρος της κατοικίας, δίνοντας πρόσβαση σε καθιστικό, τραπεζαρία και κουζίνα. Οι δύο όγκοι σχήματος κύβου, στις άκρες της κατασκευής, φιλοξενούν ένα αυτόνομο master υπνοδωμάτιο με λουτρό και το άλλο δύο επιπλέον υπνοδωμάτια. Μέσα στο βραχώδες τοπίο και τον ελαιώνα, η εξοχική κατοικία εξασφαλίζει μια μεγάλη όψη με πέργκολα, προσφέροντας οπτική συνοχή μεταξύ του εσωτερικού και του εξωτερικού χώρου.
