House in Greece in "V" Shape

This house is located on the south coast of the island of Crete, Greece. The house has a "V" shape with a rounded tip and is articulated by two concrete beams that follow the topography of the hill and define the contour of the house.
The ring shape of the house protects an internal garden planted with varieties of citrus trees and edible plants, providing shaded and protected areas as well as panoramic views of the entire horizon and natural ventilation for all inhabited spaces.
The material used in the construction of the house was chosen to blend with the surrounding landscape, with external walls built in quarry stone and a concrete strip that limits the external walls to the top.
The house was designed to form a temperate microclimate, an oasis within an intensely beautiful but physically demanding environment. In addition, the construction of the house was an effort to preserve the landscape, as the topography had been severely marked by random and informal road excavation.
The excavation material extracted during the construction of the house was used to recover the original morphology of the land, and a thorough survey of the native flora was carried out to understand the predominant biotopes on the different slopes of the land. During the spring, before construction, seeds were collected on site and cultivated in a greenhouse to produce more seeds. These were then sown on the scars of the roads for flora regeneration.

Охрененно!

[@joejanega4172]

Love the exterior however it would have been hugely beneficial to understand the interior finishes and use of space with video to better understand how owners vision was carried from the landscape throughout the interior. Is architecture not about space and best utilization and how the outside blends and works with the inside to provide a complete and satisfying living environment?

[@mirageon]

Good idea, maybe a second version of the video could show the flow and how the interior space is planned and used👍

[@lamproslamprou3663]

I agree

Nice except its a shame so much concrete was used. The flat roof could have been grass also.

Can it withstand attacks from the mandarin?

[@youtubecensoringcomments7427]

Amazing what was more or less the cost?

[@mirageon]

Hello! This information was not disclosed, but the cost shouldn't have been too high, as the architects used the excavated material from the construction and built with local quarry stone.

[@youtubecensoringcomments7427]

@@mirageon thanks. This is just to have an order of magnitude. Should be a couple millions thrown in there

Plants on the roof woulda been a really cool touch. Beautiful though.😢

Unless you’re a starving billygoat I didn’t see anything in that inner garden that looked even remotely edible.

The house was recently built and the garden is new. It will improve over time

About as appealing as living in a hotel lobby.
