Project Year: 2007 Project Area: 12 Ha Photographs: Clive Nichols, Cathy Cunliffe The Aegean islands are known for their great and dramatic beauty. House in Tinos / mX Architecture. Architects: mX Architecture / Emmanuel Choupis Location: Tinos, Greece Project Managers: Romain Braida and Maud Henriot Civil Engineer: Nikiforos Delasoudas Site Area: 210 sqm Project Area: 110 sqm Budget: $300,000 Euro Project Year: 2008-2009 Photographs: Elias Handelis The land is located at the northwest edge of Hatzirados village on the Cyclades’ island of Tinos in the Hellenic Mediterranean.
It contained vestiges of previous stonewall vernacular tissue including characteristic elements such as a wine press and a stone oven. The aim of the project was to erect a contemporary house within a traditional [settlement] frame. The naturally sloping site has been sculpted in to three ‘plateaus’ following a decreasing height ascension rhythm. Residential uses occupy the entire terrain’s area. Inspired by the typical use of local “cells” the prisms house three bedrooms, with en-suite bath spaces. Aloni / decaARCHITECTURE. Architects: decaARCHITECTURE Location: Antiparos, Greece Project Team: Alexandros Vaitsos, Carlos Loperena, Elena Zabeli, Kyle Gudsell, Katerina Chryssanthopoulou Owner: Oliaros AE (Antiparos Design Projects) Structural Engineers: KYMA / Manos Kyriazis Mechanical Engineers: TEKEM / George Kavoulakos Contractor: Kataskevastiki Topometriki Parou ABETE / Nikos Kaggelis Landscape Designers: Doxiadis+ / Thomas Doxiadis Project Area: 237 sqm Project Year: 2008 Photographs: Erieta Attali, Ed Reeve, decaARCHITECTURE The design of the house is a dual response to the particular topography of the site and to the rural domestication techniques that in the past shaped the raw ‘Cycladic island’ landscape.
In the past, dry-rubble stone walls domesticated the land for agricultural purposes and were the most prominent man-made interventions in the landscape. The walls retained earth and transformed a steep topography into a series of arable plateaus. The site is a natural saddle where two slopes meet. Aristide Antonas. Amphitheater House / Aristide Antonas. Architects: Aristide Antonas Location: Hydra, Greece Collaborators: Katerina Koutsogianni & Niki Dimopoulou Project year: 2007 Photographs: Aristide Antonas The amphitheater house is built in Hydra, a traditional small town, situated in the homonymous island, close to Piraeus, the port of Athens.
The building was built above the ruins of an older quasi-orthogonal foundation wall but none of the characteristics of the older construction was obviously present when the design began. The project challenges the possibilities of an empty – “construction site” like – living place. The house contains no heavy furniture, its light pieces are considered as a movable group of things, the mattresses and the tables included.
