House 4
Crete B-Heraklion
This house outside Heraklion consists
of two interlocking components which recall both the archetypal
house and the classical temple - a juxtaposition of the sacred
and the profane.
Its spatial organisation and fabric were inspired by components
of the piano nobile of the Palace of Minos at Knossos. There
are spectacular views of Mount Psiloritis and the Mediterranean
Sea, especially from the roof terrace, which serves as an open-air
living room and sleeping porch for the hot summer nights.
