Residence in
Marathonas, Aegina
Supervision | Construction
2009
The main feature of this residence, with a total area of 500 m² is that it is situated literally next to the beach of Marathonas, in the homonymous area of Aegina. Our studio undertook the completion of the construction, as only the shell of reinforced concrete pre-existed, as well as the interior and exterior design.
The house is developed in three levels, with the bedrooms being at the top level, featuring a “split-level” design in relation to the public spaces located in the ground floor. The basement level includes auxiliary spaces, an office space as well as a fitness and recreation area.
The public areas (living room, kitchen) were designed as a single, fluid space without dividing walls and with larger ceiling height to emphasize their importance. In order to protect from the sun in the summer months, but also to achieve a better transition from the interior to the exterior, a pergola with fixed blinds adjacent to the living room was designed, functioning as a transitional semi-outdoor space and sheltering the patio overlooking the sea.
