The design is for a luxurious 550m² villa in the area of Agia Kyriaki on the island of Antiparos, Cyclades.
The site is a rare 6000m² plot, very close to the sea, on the hill side of the main road from Antiparos Chora to Soros. The building is placed off-centre and at an angle to the main road in order to “avoid” the neighbouring building towards the sea, while at the same time facing the sea and opening up to the southern sun.
The concept is to carefully place a series of buildings and structures, a constellation, to create a unique “place” to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle. Single storey volumes including the main house, a separate guest house, garage and external BBQ area are strategically placed to form and ‘shelter’ the main external courtyard.
The design provides 4 en-suite bedrooms in the main house, indoor and outdoor living and dining areas, indoor and outdoor kitchen, games room, garage, storage and a guest house with two en-suite bedrooms. All the main rooms are on the ground floor and enjoy uninterrupted sea views, while a bedroom, staff room and playroom are on the lower level, which is naturally lit by an atrium.
An access road runs through the rear of the property, leading to the open parking area and the entrance courtyard of the villa. The entrance hall is located at the centre of the house and gives direct access to an internal/external corridor leading to all the different rooms.
