HOLIDAY HOUSE, MESI VILLAGE, NAXOS ISLAND



The images below show the final design proposal that it will go hopefully ahead for planning. After informed consideration of a number of building legislation, the design strategy evolved to include a family house extended on the plot of an existing historic derelict and two studios on the adjacent site. Both studios can be accessed through the public path where their large windows promote convergence with the village life, but preserving a more private elevation on the east.

The design for the family home due to the site restrictions can only explore a single elevation for daylight, ventilation and views. The home activity is directly engaged with the public street on both levels and a private terrace for retrieval enjoys views towards the Aegean archipelago.  




The solar chimney becomes an important architectural feature and signposts the development in the village settings.
