De Summer Story Domus Unius Familiae

Fabula Aestiva est domus unius familiae in Roustika, Cretae, ad radices montium Lefka Ori sita. Domus aedificata est pro pari Gallico ut magnam familiam extensam aestate hospitio exciperet. Ingens ianua lapidea arcuata ad aream inclusam conclusam ducit, aedificia Veneta insulae in memoriam revocans. Lapis et ochra locales adhibiti sunt, et fenestrae, ianuae et claustra lignea facta sunt. Supellex inaedificata ab artificibus localibus confecta est. Formae Creticae traditionales cum ratione contemporanea coniunguntur, ita ut domus semper ibi fuisse videatur.

Fasciculus Nuntii

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: At the foot of the Lefka Ori mountains in Crete, a French couple decided to house their large extended family and spend their summers in a pure Cretan environment. The large arched entrance leading to an enclosed courtyard revives memories of the Venetians who left their mark on the island. We wanted to create a typical Cretan home - simple, distinguished, and very proud, and combined it with a contemporary design approach, to create a home as if it had always been there.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: 250 square meter building on a 4700 square meter plot of land
Notulae: Summer house, Crete, Greece, Traditional, Minimal, Slow living
Technologia Productionis: Environmental and site analysis dictated the orientation of the house in relationship to the prime views and the position of the sun. Local stone and ocher were used in the construction, and all built in furniture was built by local craftsmen. In keeping with the traditional Cretan architecture the windows, doors, and shutters are all made of wood.
Provocatio Designandi: The client wanted to incorporate both the traditional architectural language of the area, but use modern construction techniques in order to create a home that fits into the landscape, to make it feel as if it has always been there.
Investigatio: Type: Environmental analysis. Objectives: To orient and integrate the design into the site. Methodology: Solar and wind analysis using computational tools, view selection and framing from site visit. Data Tools Used: Energy Plus weather data for analysis and solar paths; historical wind data; site visits and research on local architecture. Participants: Full office team. Result: Environmental analysis optimized the design, historical research allowed for selection of construction materials and methods. Effect: The design respects the local architectural language, integrating it fully in its environment, and promoting local artists and craftsmen.
Inspiratio: The brief was composed as if it was a first page of a novel, narrating a summer day in this imaginary Cretan house and its rural environment. It describes the various spaces of the house and the surrounding large garden. Immediately, the direct relation between inside and outside became the focus of our concept. Cretan life is well connected with the earth, the outdoors, the olive trees, and we were keen to sustain this throughout our design.
Duratio Operis: Construction of the house in Roustika, Crete, was completed in 2018.
Cursus Operationis: The large stone arched entrance connects the outside with the inner courtyard and acts as a central focus point for the house, promoting the idea of indoor and outdoor living.
