Atrium Villas
The complex consists out of 3 houses built on a wooded hillside overlooking the west coast of Skiathos and the eastern Pelion. The natural environment defined the architectural layout of the complex that consists out of 6 volumes following the slope of the site in a linear formation, parallel to the sea view.
The complex presents itself closed and unified to the North, while to the south the volumes open up differentiating each house and offering the inhabitants privacy and stunning views to the sea.
Every house consists out of 2 buildings connected through light steel constructions such as pergolas, bridges and staircases creating atriums and verandas, spaces in between that form the heart of the houses. Intermediate spaces used as an extension of the inside, forming a continuity both functional and visual and turning the outer space into a part of the house.
The main materials used in the project are the stones coming from the excavation, wood, reeds, steel and glass. The column free corners out of glass allow undisturbed views to the sea and open up the living rooms to the verandas.
The reeds are used for shadow and privacy. The contrast created between the stone walls and the lighter steel elements underlines and gives lightness to the composition.
