Residence in Ag. Savvas

DESCRIPTION[el:]ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

The area of "Ag. Savvas" was the only one where the houses were literally on the waves. The buildings had turned their back to the sea to protect them from the wind and the waves. Due to the opening of the coastal road in the 1970s, the neighborhood changed its façade. The buildings, having taken a distance from the liquid element, finally opened up to this view. Under this concept, the two-storey residence with the cistern and a total area of 119.42 sq.m. was restored, redefining the original traditional style of the settlement.
Its main façade is now on to the sea where the main entrance is placed too. The building is raised to avoid the flooding of the sea caused by the intense winds, thus ensuring the unified façade of the buildings facing the road. At the same time the characteristic elements of the settlement are restored, with the redesign and coloring of the wooden frames and the wooden balcony.
In the interior, the new layout of the ground floor has the public spaces shaped by the formation of two identical arches on the existing stone wall and load-bearing structure. The floor above hosts the private spaces.
