Single-Family Panoramic Residence with a View of the Euboean Gulf
A modern 460 sq.m. single-family residence was designed for a five-member family on a sloping plot in the Kanithos neighborhood of Chalkida, in the “Poseidonia” location. The residence maximizes the stunning view of the northern Euboean Gulf, while its design is based on seamless integration into the natural landscape, optimal orientation, and the functionality of spaces for the residents’ daily life.
Location and View
The property enjoys an unobstructed view of the sea, as the western side, across the municipal road, remains undeveloped. The adjacent plots within the same building block have already been constructed along the property’s boundaries, a factor that influenced the positioning of the residence to ensure maximum visual connection with the Euboean Gulf.
Layout and Functionality
The residence is developed across four levels, ensuring distinct and functional spaces for both family members and guests.
Basement Level
The basement includes three parking spaces, storage areas, a playroom, and an independent guest area with a private bathroom. This level provides convenience and flexibility, allowing for comfortable guest accommodation without disrupting the household’s daily routine.
Ground Floor Level
The main entrance and reception area are located on the ground floor, leading to the staircase and elevator. This level also includes an open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen, along with a pantry. Large open spaces create a seamless connection with the outdoor areas, enhancing the residence’s relationship with the natural surroundings.
First Floor Level
The first floor serves as the private zone of the residence, featuring three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The design ensures privacy for the residents, while large openings allow for uninterrupted sea views.
Second Floor Level
The second floor is designed as an independent office and activity space, providing a quiet environment for work or creative pursuits. Additionally, it takes advantage of the extensive rooftop terrace, offering an additional outdoor relaxation area.
Bioclimatic Design and Energy Efficiency
The architectural study follows bioclimatic principles, maximizing the use of natural light and solar energy. The south-facing orientation allows for passive solar heating during winter, providing natural warmth. Additionally, pergolas and louvers have been strategically placed in outdoor areas to regulate sunlight, directing natural light into the interior spaces and contributing to energy savings.
Outdoor and Recreational Spaces
The residence’s design seamlessly integrates outdoor areas into the overall living experience, aiming to create a unified recreational space. At the ground level, the residence extends across the entire width of the plot, forming a spacious outdoor area with a swimming pool, ensuring privacy and direct interaction with nature.
Accessibility and Comfort
Vertical circulation between levels is facilitated by a central staircase and an elevator, ensuring ease of movement throughout the residence. Special attention has been given to accessibility, making all areas fully wheelchair-friendly and accommodating individuals with mobility challenges.
