Alexander Velgan has completed a unique villa project in Greece covering an area of 228 square metres. The landscape design takes advantage of site specific features such as microclimatic and topographical conditions as well as the existing vegetation. Protection from the strong summer winds and the harmonious combination of the exterior of the villa with the surrounding nature, were principle design factors.
Entrance of the house are cleanly divides social and private space. Key to the character of the villa is the palette of traditional simple materials and raw surfaces such as lime-wash, stone tiles, and wood that bridges heritage and locality with contemporary life. Systems of sliding partitions transform the object forming individual spaces and various perspective points.
