在圣米纳斯小村庄附近俯瞰欧波海的壮观场地上,原始和精致材料的组合创造了一个独特的避暑别墅,向各个方向的景观开放。两个大型的浅色混凝土拱门将主要生活空间面向大海。

On a spectacular site overlooking the Euboean Sea near the small village of St. Minas, a mix of raw and refined materials combine to create a unique summer house that opens up to the landscape in all directions. Two large shallow concrete arches orient the main living spaces towards the sea.

与这一主轴线垂直交叉的一层楼的更多私人卧室空间被隐藏在现有的景观坡度中。房子从入口处消失在橄榄树丛和野生松树林中,但在两层楼中打开,以拥抱全部的海滨景观。房子周围广泛的梯田创造了一个多层次的户外客厅网络。

Crossing perpendicular to this primary axis a one-story bar of more private bedroom spaces are tucked into the existing slope of the landscape. The house disappears into the olive groves and wild pine forest from the approach road but opens up across two stories to embrace the full extent of the seafront views. Extensive terraces around the house create a multi-level network of outdoor living rooms.

该地块的最初结构是由希腊建筑师Nikos Hadjimichalis在20世纪70年代设计的,已经进行了广泛的翻新、重新配置和扩展。原先的房子是单一地朝向大海的,而通过在原来的结构上开出大的新口子,并向各个方向延伸户外空间,场地的多样性–森林、小树林、草坪、草地…和大海–得到了赞美。

An initial structure on the site, designed by Greek architect Nikos Hadjimichalis in the 1970s, has been extensively renovated, reconfigured, and extended. Whereas the original house was singularly focused towards the sea, by cutting large new openings into the original structure and extending space outdoors in all directions, the diversity of the site – forest, grove, lawn, meadow… and sea – is celebrated.

许多原来的现代主义细节被重新创造和更新,但也补充了一些有趣的新内容。这座房子在处理新旧问题上故意含糊其辞,在尊重原来的房子上也不惜重金;有时显示出对原来的操纵和切口的痕迹,有时又将新与旧融合在一起,将过去和现在混为一谈。结构墙和天花板的裸露混凝土与裸露的砖、木窗、定制的水磨石地板、穿孔铝柜和整个内置软垫家具相得益彰。

Many of the original modernist details have been recreated and updated, but also complemented with playful new additions. The house is deliberately ambiguous in its treatment of old and new, and unprecious in its deference to the original house; at times revealing the traces of the manipulations and incisions to the original, at other times blending new with old, conflating past and present. The exposed concrete of the structural walls and ceiling is complemented by exposed brick, wood windows, custom terrazzo floors, perforated aluminum cabinets, and built-in upholstered furniture throughout.
