Vacation house
A rocky landscape in the west coast of Crete
Elafonissi, Crete 2013
Architects: A&G Varoudakis Architects

[ OBJECTIVE ]
The existence of a large rock influenced predominantly the design approach. This rock was placed in the center of the vacation house, from which every room looked upon it.
[ SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION ]
A sustainable construction was essential in order to prevent the natural enviroment. A metallic structure was selected while glass replaces walls so that the landscape and the herb vegetation can be seen through the whole building.
