RESIDENCES
About project
On a plot of land within the settlement of Plaka, Chania, we were asked to erect 3 new houses with an attic and to build 3 swimming pools in the surrounding area. The residences are sited on the western and southern boundaries of the plot in order to create an “entry zone” to the east as well as enough free space for landscaping and the aforementioned swimming pools. The entrances to the residences are marked with natural shade wicker panels, offering shade, and pergolas made of composite Swedish timber are used in the surrounding areas.
In the northern part of the plot there is a small church which we are restoring.
