The Challenge<\/h3><\/div>

This project involved the design and construction of a modern villa with traditional touches, ensuring it blends harmoniously into the settlement of Kavrochori. The 300 sq.m. plot is located on an elevated hill, offering unobstructed views of the sea and the city of Heraklion. The challenge was to maximise the site\u2019s potential, create a layout adaptable for future expansion, and combine modern living comfort with traditional architectural elements.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our Approach<\/h3><\/div>

Design with Future Expansion in Mind<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The design included a single-storey residence with a swimming pool, without a basement, but with provisions for the future addition of a second floor. The entrance is positioned at the rear, with parking spaces and a pedestrian entry accessed via a ramp.<\/p>\n

Blending Modern and Traditional Styles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A wooden canopy welcomes and shelters guests at the entrance. Inside, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas are centred around a modern fireplace with expansive views. Stone, plaster, and wood are harmoniously combined, while wooden ceiling beams in the kitchen and an arched opening between spaces merge modern and traditional styles.<\/p>\n

Bedroom and Bathroom Layout<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the rear of the house, two spacious bedrooms and bathrooms are designed in clean white tones, maintaining a bright and minimalist aesthetic throughout.<\/p>\n

Outdoor Spaces and Pool<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In front, the infinity pool is complemented by terraces and green spaces, creating a relaxing setting that combines water and nature. A semi-covered area in front of the pool serves as a lounging space with sea views, while a second green area below the pool can be used for exercise or sunbathing.<\/p>\n<\/div>
