House 3
Crete A-Heraklion

    The idea for this project is that of a farmhouse on a country estate. Organised and volumetrically expressed as a wall with an attached kitchen tower, it defines an external patio-veranda similar to that of the traditional houses of Sfakia, in which the courtyard (alvi) mediates the various internal spaces. This arrangement ensures a strong relationship between interior and exterior, while the external living spaces acquire an almost ceremonial significance because of the amount of time the family spends outdoors. The house pays homage to the same views as House 3. The form of the roof echoes the silhouette of the surrounding hills.
