H70 Housing Complex in Faragas, Paros / 314 Architecture Studio

 

Η70 housing development is situated in Faragas, Paros Island. The site is located on a peninsular of particular natural beauty and spectacular sea view. The proposed scheme constitutes of 5 independent houses that create a network of indoor and outdoor spaces.

 

Each house consists of 1 or 2 volumes and a number of patios. Patios serve the need of privacy and create atmospheric (ambiences) in-between spaces used like garden, lounge-pool area and entrance. The north side of the network is insular and protected from the wind, whereas all spaces are opened towards the sea.

 

The starting point of the design of the landscape was the minimum impact on the terrain, so the site is proposed to be replanted with local plants in order to accent the natural environment. Material quality, simplicity and dynamism achieve an alternative interpretation of the Cycladic architecture.
