Its residential program is consisted of a three floor residence with the entrance located on the ground floor, its living spaces on the first floor, and finally the bedrooms on the third floor. 

The challenging part of this design project  was the integration of the specific structure within the uneven land and sloppy ground , the atmospheric diffusion of natural light in each space, the connection of the guest with the landscape and the beautiful view towards the sea looking through the city of Heraklion. 

The main compositional principal was achieving a unique experience of living through  the simplicity of the form and the space.

Spaces in a big box house diverse its orientation through the floors investigating a simple form solution through a complex problem of paragonal site. 

“Every day we experience something new about this house that intrigues us” .Τhis was the feedback we received from a  couple that stayed in the house.  The designing aim of this residence was to make a  unique living experience, by experiencing every day something new.
