Residence in Chania Promontory, Aristomenis Varoudakis, George Varoudakis

The design focused on the drawing of a small house that would match the needs of a semi-permanent residence.The vertical structure of the three main areas makes reference to the residential tradition of the specific region, i.e the tower house.

The use of stonework as the main construction material enabled designers to continue the design research that had been launched twenty years ago, regarding the plasticity of masonry capabilities combined with reinforced concrete. Directions and views overlooking the natural landscape fixed the positions and sizes of the openings.

The necessary areas of open air living were designed as lifted platforms made of metal and wood, on top of the stone shell’s solid mass  The very few internal partitions made of metal, glass, and wood, have been designed as a single ensemble combing the stairs, the cupboards and the benches.
