VILLA IN GONATSA

With a view of the open sea, in an olive grove with a southwest orientation, minimal vegetation, and a rocky environment, a house was designed that seeks a balance between the artificial and the natural environment. A single-story building was created, grounded in the earth, strict, and with central symmetry. Durable and easy-to-maintain materials were selected from the beginning, following the mandates of the owners and nature.

A key choice for the continuity between the inside and the outside is transparency in all directions, with the challenge being the “big window” that disappears when opened. The difficulty of creating such a large window, easy to handle, with discreet features and modern design, was successfully addressed with Europa.
