Production Technology
The most significant technique and methodology that needed to be considered in designing the whole project was the research of developing a subterranean building on rocky ground. Possible insulation issues on the green roves and sideways, ventilation and natural air, natural light, and humidity had to be solved next to the ocean while keeping a unique, minimal architectural design.
Design Challenge
The green roves and the side tunnels were the creative part of this project along with the difficulty of developing it. The rocky ground, the Incline, and the oceanfront plot were the obstacles that had to be taken care of.
Research
The main research that had to be done it was about the subterranean houses design and development. We had to study very well the way the houses should be designed in order to have the right insulation, ventilation and in the meantime to provide the right functionality. We collected data from European isolation experts, we exchanged ideas with companies that participated in Leed and other green developments and we cooperated with certified companies in order to get the best quality materials.
Inspiration
The inspiration came from the mythological couple of Atlas and Pleione, Pleiades parents. This is why the fiber optic lights layout in the swimming pool are the Pleiades asterism. The technical and research background that is needed is specific, and a developer needs to develop safely, insulate properly, design details, and ventilate excellently a subterranean property, which is basically inside the ground.
Project Duration
The project started December 2019 and finished August 2022.
Operation Flow
Τhe inhabitants of this property consume less energy, live in a healthy, clean environment, and have a low overall energy footprint, as most things are managed sustainably.
