About Summer Story هڪ خاندان لاءِ گھر
سمر اسٽوري ڪريٽ جي علائقي روستيڪا ۾، لفڪا اوري جبلن جي پيرن ۾ ٺهيل هڪ خاندان لاءِ گھر آهي. هي گھر هڪ فرانسيسي جوڙي لاءِ اهڙي طرح ٺاهيو ويو آهي ته اُهي اونهاري ۾ پنهنجي وڏي ويجهي مائٽن جي خاندان جي مهمان نوازي ڪري سگهن. هڪ وڏو پٿريلو محراب نما داخلي دروازو هڪ بند صحن ڏانهن رستو ڏئي ٿو ۽ ٻيٽ جي وينيشين عمارتن جي ياد ڏياري ٿو. مقامي پٿر ۽ گيرو رنگ استعمال ڪيا ويا آهن، ۽ دريون، دروازا ۽ شٽرز ڪاٺ مان ٺهيل آهن. اندروني فرنيچر مقامي ڪاريگرن پاران ٺاهيو ويو آهي. روايتي ڪريٽي انداز کي جديد طرز سان ملايو ويو آهي، ان ڪري گھر اهڙو نظر اچي ٿو ڄڻ ته اهو هميشه کان اتي موجود هجي.

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- 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.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 250 square meter building on a 4700 square meter plot of land
- Tags
- Summer house, Crete, Greece, Traditional, Minimal, Slow living
- Production Technology
- 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.
- Design Challenge
- 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.
- Research
- 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.
- Inspiration
- 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.
- Project Duration
- Construction of the house in Roustika, Crete, was completed in 2018.
- Operation Flow
- 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.
