绿色、野生的克里特景观和传统工艺的丰富性和遗产定义了Block722的这个新的、彻底的现代住宅设计。该项目位于希腊岛屿东侧Thrypti山的北麓，是一个私人客户的委托项目。它要求在斜坡上建造一个280平方米的住宅，包括两个客房和宽敞的室外区域。
The green, wild Cretan landscape and the richness and heritage of traditional crafts define this new, thoroughly contemporary residential design by Block722. Sat on the northern foothills of Thrypti mountain within the Greek island’s eastern side, the project is a commission by a private client. It called for a 280 sq m home on a slope, including two guestrooms and generous outdoor areas.
在建筑师的设计方案中，平衡简介中的需求和结合山脉、平原和地中海美景的自然环境是至关重要的。建筑的驱动力是希望创造一个低调且尊重周围环境的现代住宅。通过层次而不是台阶来协调场地的角度，对于塑造一个拥抱环境的轻松环境也是至关重要的。
Balancing the needs of the brief with the natural setting that combines vistas of mountains, plains, and the Mediterranean Sea, was critical in the architects’ design solution. The architecture was driven by a desire to create a modern house that is discreet and respectful of its surroundings. Negotiating the site’s angle through levels instead of steps was also critical in molding a relaxing environment that embraces its setting.
一条从主干道下来的小路将游客引向住宅的入口。该建筑群的规模被巧妙地分解为较小的体量，它们通过流通路线和中间空间相互连接–有些是室内的，有些是露天的。主屋被分为两座低矮的建筑，由一个带水景的半封闭区域连接。设计融合了当地人经常使用的自然材料，如木材和石头。同时，这里的氛围具有明显的现代性，将Block722固有的斯堪的纳维亚感觉和有机极简主义与日本建筑的影响相融合。这种对日本的赞美通过设计中令人耳目一新的简洁、近乎朴素的线条来展开，这些线条平衡了材料的自然、触感和整体工艺的丰富性。
A path down a slope from the main road leads visitors to the residence’s entrance. The complex’s size is cleverly broken down into smaller volumes, which are interconnected through circulation routes and in-between spaces – some indoors and some open-air. The main home is divided into two low buildings linked by a semi-enclosed area with a water feature. The design merges natural materials often used in the local vernacular, such as wood and stone. At the same time, the atmosphere is distinctly contemporary, blending Block722’s inherent Scandinavian sensibility and organic minimalism with Japanese architecture influences. This nod to Japan unfolds through the design’s refreshing simplicity of clean, almost austere lines that balance the materials’ natural, tactile nature and the overall craft-rich approach.
强大的希腊阳光有助于定义形状和表面，与有质感的材料一起玩耍，因为建筑师在室内和室外都借鉴了环境的感觉和节奏。光线的旅程和客户一天的习惯导致了内部的空间安排。每一个部分和路线都经过精心规划，以支持功能和框架远景，通过视觉旅程和空间叙事，将内部和外部、自然和人为融合起来。该设计旨在加强慢生活，从岛上的生活方式中汲取灵感。
The powerful Greek sunlight helps define shapes and surfaces, playing with the textured materials, as the architects drew on the feel and rhythm of the context for both interiors and exteriors. The journey of light and the clients’ habits throughout the day led to the spatial arrangement inside. Each section and route are carefully planned to support functionality and frame vistas, through visual journeys and spatial narratives that blend inside and outside, the natural and the human-made. The design seeks to enhance slow living, taking its cues from the island’s lifestyle.
Block722在整个施工过程中与当地工匠合作，将专业的制造技术应用于房屋中的大量元素。这适用于高端建筑细节和家具作品，其中大部分都是定制的，并专门为这个项目设计，使用大理石、木材、石头和水磨石。所有的作品一起构成了Block722的ANATA家具系列。这种方法富有艺术性和当地采购的天然材料，将设计提升为真正的定制住宅精品。中性的、朴素的颜色占主导地位，质量优先于数量。
Block722 collaborated with local artisans throughout the construction, applying expert manufacturing skills to a large array of elements in the house. This applies to both high-end architectural details and furniture pieces, the majority of which are bespoke and created specifically with this project in mind, using marble, wood, stone, and terrazzo. All the pieces together form Block722’s ANATA furniture collection. This approach, rich in artistry and locally sourced, natural materials, elevates the design into a truly custom-made residential gem. Neutral, earthy colors dominate, and quality is prioritized over quantity.
艺术品在整体构图中也是至关重要的，该项目现在拥有希腊艺术家Pantelis Chandris的2.8 x 1.5米的雕塑，令人印象深刻。这个特别委托的作品放在客厅里，与建筑设计同步进行，漂亮地展示了这个隐居地的规模和学科的完美结合。
The artwork was also crucial in the overall composition and the project now holds an impressive 2.8 x 1.5m sculpture by Greek artist Pantelis Chandris. The specially commissioned piece sits in the living room and was developed in parallel to the architectural design, beautifully displaying the retreat’s perfect marriage of scales and disciplines.
