About The Linear 家
このプロジェクトは、オリーブ畑、ブドウ畑、青い空、さわやかな南から西へ向かう地中海の風景への賞賛のアイデアからインスピレーションを受けました。すべての部屋で遮るもののない景色を最大限に確保するために、直線的な類型学が採用され、シンプルなシルエットにより、人と自然の間に強い関係が確立されました。スライド式の日差しを遮断するアルミニウム製スクリーンが直射日光を制御し、室内を保護します。ガラス張りの橋を備えた 2 倍の高さのリビング スペースは、すべての部屋を結び、内と外の景色を提供する家の中心エリアです。自然に身を委ね、大地に沿った長いデザイン。

- Unique Properties
- To maximise unobstructed views for all rooms we adopted a linear typology, a simple strong silhouette establishing so relationships between people and nature. A sliding sun blocking aluminium screen controls and protects the interior from direct sunlight. Double height living space with glazed bridges is the focal area of the house connecting all rooms and providing views in and out. The long design surrenders to its natural environment and absorbs the panorama of the Mediterranean nature.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- site area 1517 sq.m.
area of building 607 sq.m. - Tags
- double height living, rural house, aluminium mesh, sun screens, swimming pool
- Production Technology
- Locally produced materials are used. Cyprus is rich in lime stone thus concrete, clay bricks and plasters are used as the main building material.The frame structure is made of reinforced concrete but additional structures are made of steel providing contrast between heavy and light finishes. Marble stone is used for floors, clay thermal bricks for outer walls, wooden flooring for outdoors, timber cladding for some walls and staircases inside.Triple, tempered glass is used for the gazed bridges.
- Design Challenge
- Our challenge was to establish relationships between building and nature. Our proposal enhances the beauty of the Mediterranean countryside. A linear typology was adopted where all rooms have views through big openings highlighting the connection with nature. A challenge was to design a sustainable house. We have incorporated passive solar concepts which included photovoltaic, solar panels, cross and chimney stack ventilation. Orientation and shading devices reduce the amount of solar gains.
- Research
- To reduce energy the following strategies applied- 1. passive solar approach, right orientation, cross ventilation, chimney stack effect 2. High performance insulation materials, 3.glass with light transmission 73 ,solar factor 41, 4. Shade devices blocking 80% of direct sun 5.Led lighting 6. Automation 7. sustainable sources ,38 photovoltaic panels, 8 solar panels.Furthermore swimming pool is placed next to living area so as water evaporates cooler air is drawn into the hous
- Inspiration
- The linearity of the vineyards and olive groove plantations were the inspiration for the design. It seemed as though nature was calling us to follow the linearity model of the landscape and be part of its ecosystem. As a result the house is structured along a longitudinal axis running parallel to plantations but also coinciding with the best sun orientation, summer breezes and views. Linear elements in the house echo the linearity of nature.
- Project Duration
- the projected started in 2015 in Limassol, Cyprus and finished in 2018.
- Operation Flow
- The linear typology produces a series of spaces along a pathway. Spaces have specific relationship with the outside highlighting strong connections between activities within the house and nature. Living space acts as in between space connecting all four levels. A slim aluminium system on ground provides smooth transitions between inside and outside. Mesh sun-screen on first floor remodels the appearance of the house, the day appears solid and protective but the night is light and transparent.
