Black White Residence
About this project
The residence is placed almost in the boundaries of the plot, in a private spot, designed to respond to a family retreat on the outskirts of the village of Neochori. A synthesis of volumes, as a contemporary translation of the traditional cubic architecture, with a clear influence from Modernism. The synthesis of the building volumes, the formation of its facades in relation to the orientation have a positive impact on the development of natural shading and cooling. The building of 600 sq. meters area consists of a ground floor, an upper floor, and a lower level, below ground. A slightly slide of white walls and a garden full of olive trees comprises and signals the main entrance to the residence’s upper level. More in general, the residence integrates natural materials, textures, and colors into a contemporary clean, and cut space that follows the general ‘lines’ of its surrounding, in order to cover the guests’ need for recreation and relaxation.
