The idea of the house came up after a careful reading of the environment. The land of Stavros, in Chania is quite flat and the only thing that “breaks” this continuous geomorphology is the mountain. It starts slowly from the ground and ends at the ground with the same smooth way.

The idea was a design of a house that would be incorporated to this landscape, a building that grows and finishes gradually but remains strictly geometric as the contemporary architecture that the clients like.

One of the priorities was the privacy on this plain area – privacy from the neighbors and the road but at the same time to maximize the view towards the sea and the mountain. That’s why the ground floor took an “L” shape. In that way, the view to the sea is unblocked but the view to the interior of the house and the pool area from the road is blocked.

The house is under construction by Euroland Crete.
