OMNIA Residence, Profitis Ilias, Chania / Crete Concept Design_: Christodoulakis Ilias Architectural Design: Terzidakis Andreas / Gkina Dionisia / Kalogeri Maria Interior_ Furniture Design: Terzidakis Andreas Construc�on: MARKT S.A. 2019-20

The building is located on a privileged western slope of the Cape of Chania. The special topography of the area, with the steep slope, in combina�on with the limited space of the plot, forced the building volume to grow in height, in 5 levels, with the correla�on of these being the main body of the synthe�c crea�on. The view and the natural sun were the cores of the design with the building essen�ally turning and framing the view on each of its levels, while the Cretan light enters it unifying and emphasizing its special geometries and the simplicity of its construc�on.

The building shell encloses two iden�cal houses. The uses are developed in stages with the auxiliary ones being in the basement, the public ones such as the living room and the kitchen, at the level of the elevated ground floor and the private ones on the last two levels. The basic philosophy of the interior design and design was the crea�on of open spaces, simple but at the same �me me�culous in their details following the principle of Cretan architecture with minimalist lines and archetypal volumes.

The entrance to the space is through the kitchen where it is used as a short-term dining space with the element of wood defining the ves�bule. The living room is in the dominant posi�on-view of each house and has a double height thus freeing the eye from the narrow concept of space. The main spa�al and synthe�c element is the metal staircase which connects the mul�ple levels. The staircase was treated as a con�nuous filter, a lightweight construc�on that obscures or frames the view and the user and incorporates elements of locality.

Living spaces are developed on the upper levels of each house. Each bedroom benefits from panoramic views and natural sunshine. Natural materials such as wood, metal and glass combine to create a simple "hive" of residence. Par�cular emphasis was placed on the design of the bathrooms, which due to the small space of the bedrooms were treated as a semi-transparent light shell, a glass cube, where the interior and exterior environment, as well as the figures of users are projected on its surfaces crea�ng a light experience. shadow and mo�on.

On the last level, two a�cs were created which have a private living room while the sleeping area is placed inside the upper upper level, in direct contact with the sloping wooden roof. A solar skylight window contributes to the natural light and ven�la�on of the space.

The balconies and the surrounding area are the main areas of relaxa�on of the Mediterranean habita�on and as such have been designed. The plan�ng and the choice of materials in earthy tones contribute to the crea�on of uniform surfaces while the use of wood, either in its natural or ar�ficial composi�on, signals the presence of the liquid element. The building has a total of three swimming pools, two on the ground floor level and one on the shared roof. The large awnings on the balconies, through the bioclima�cally designed wooden blinds, shade linearly, emphasizing the geometry of the volumes internally and externally. Light dominates the space; however, it is properly filtered and creates a sustainable atmosphere.

“AR-MI” Luxury Apartment, Chania / Crete The synthesis concerned the remodeling, through the consolida�on, of two exis�ng apartments. The new unified composi�on would make full use of the spa�al possibili�es and views provided by the previous situa�on, while it would be enriched with the concept of warmth and hospitality to create a luxury tourist apartment capable of accommoda�ng up to 6 people in comfort, as well as to be an "urban retreat" for the owner's family during the winter months.

The main axis of the zoning is the clean linear course with the cores of living and daycare developing parallel to the urban facade of the apartment. The start of the course takes place through a ves�bule, which is also the narrowest point of the space, respec�ng the propor�ons of the outer corridor. Then the space opens up crea�ng the single core that accommodates the kitchen and living room, the heart of the apartment's urban life.

On either side of the central space are the two bedrooms, one master and one that can also be used as a children's room. At the end of the corridor, the bathroom is developed, so that it is visually separated from the other areas.

The basic design philosophy is to create an urban composi�on, with elements of the Cretan iden�ty, through the use of natural materials and shades as well as clean lines to make living within the apartment func�onal and sustainable. The use of separa�ng filters emphasizes the purity and separa�on of spaces through an aesthe�c that gradually frees the visual while allowing natural light to pass through. The colors, which originate from the urban and peri-urban landscape of the city, have been used to create zones and mark the spaces.

The furnishing consists almost exclusively of furniture that has been designed and manufactured for the par�cular needs and requirements of the space and aims both to complete the aesthe�c ensemble and coherence and to cover the large storage needs required in this type of accommoda�on.

The “WHITE APT”, Chania / Crete Renova�on of a 70sqm apartment in white and natural tones. The apartment consisted of a main area that accommodated the kitchen and a living room. The main inten�on was to completely reform the kitchen to a more minimal a�tude to be connected with the living room area. The architectural design aimed to create a new more ergonomically and open space main area that, combined with open-colored tones and natural elements. White tones prevail in each room of the apartment combined with wood touches to create a minimalis�c aesthe�c and allow more light to flow in the interior, thus “enlarging” the space.

The new kitchen area was designed in a way to house as much appliances possible and as much working bench and cupboards as possible to accommodate all the needs of the family.

The kitchen is divided by the living room by a small island bench to be used as a spot for quick daily breakfast.

The bathroom was totally rearranged with the crea�on of a shower by removing the old bathtub while a niche was created to house the washer and a small closet. The use of large and lightly colored �les placed ver�cally enhanced the feeling of purity and was chosen as an effort to make the bathroom show more spacious as it was only 2,08m high.

All the old floor marbles were treated with care and were polished giving them their old glory, while the wooden cladding of the ceiling was painted white to enlarge the height effect and create a frame of the interior.

Vatolakos House, Vatolakos Village, Chania / Crete (Proposal) The proposal aims for the re-use of an exis�ng 19th century Turkish house in the heart of Vatolakos. The house is located at the center of Vatolakos and is characterized by its small size (50sqm), it has two blind facades and a very small plot, with the main village road from the East and a small alley on its West side. There were two different design varia�ons based on the main architectural inten�ons; the crea�on of a comfortable modern house and preserva�on of its locality.

The design approach on both varia�ons was similar; preserve the exis�ng façade as an urban face and a piece of history and iden�ty of the village and create an open façade that will allow the flow of natural light and open the western views towards the large orange groves that surround Vatolakos. The western part of the house was lowered by 1m to allow the accommoda�on of the kitchen, create unobstructed views from both the living and the kitchen level and also connect directly the house level with the rear garden.

Property posi�on in Vatolakos

The first proposal is to preserve the original dimensions of the house and create one bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a main living room. The traces of an old stone wall that divided the house would be preserved at a bench height and be used as a semi-boundary between kitchen and living room.

The second proposal is more ambi�ous with a second level added to the house. The upper level would accommodate a second bedroom and an office space connected via a hanged internal balcony that would create an interior atrium with the wooden roof to prevail as an element in the interior space. Moreover, the upper floor would have an exterior balcony so the owners could enjoy an extended view compared to the first level.

Housing Complex Renovation, Sternes, Chania / Crete Renova�on of a double story housing complex at Sternes village, Akro�ri Chania. The complex was consisted of 4 almost iden�cal 2 story houses that were divided into 2 typologies; 2 120sqm houses with a large living space at the edges of the block and 2 90sqm houses in the middle. The main design inten�on was to unite the housing volumes using earthy and local colors tones and by crea�ng a louvred canopy on the upper floor. The canopy was designed in a way to protect and at the same �me allow natural sunlight on the top floor’s bedrooms ac�ng as a sun filter. It was intended by the owners to keep the exis�ng windows so the color choice has to take this into account. About the colors the main inten�on was to unite the volumes by using colors from the Cretan pallet; grey-green and vene�an pink-orange.

Internally, each house was approached differently to lineup with each owner’s vision; overall maintaining a minimalis�c approach. One of the main architectural designs is the crea�on of a foldable separa�on wall in the 2 larger houses as a way to add an extra room at the ground level to be used as an extra bedroom, a study or a play room. Overall, each house has a main living space with living room and kitchen and a small bathroom at the ground level while on the 1st floor level there are two master bedrooms and a shared bathroom.

Office Renovation Proposal, Chania / Crete ΝΤΟΥΛΑΠΙ

Proposal for the interior renova�on of a medium sized technical office in Chania. The design aimed at the total reforma�on of the interior spaces of the office and expand its capacity. The materials that were chosen for the new design was a combina�on of metal and natural oak wood. All furniture is custom designed; each desk is comprised by two components the main oak bench and the metal base that is a combina�on of solid steel and perforated Corten surfaces to hide cables and create a semi-transparent filter. The space is defined by a large bookcase, that has a configura�on to accommodate the different needs of each sec�on of workers that would use it (architects, civil engineers etc).

To enhance the linearity of the space and create a path that would lead the visitors to each sector of the office, a light path was designed on the roof. Linear LED profiles was united crea�ng a unified line with circular spotlights ac�ng as signals of checkpoints-different office sec�ons. At the same �me, custom made linear lights made from corroded steel were designed and placed over the main desks thus enhancing the minimalis�c straight lines of the configura�on.

OPAP Play, Chania / Crete (Proposal) Design proposal of an OPAP store in Chania,Crete. The proposal aimed to re-configurate an exis�ng vene�an building of the old town in a new way to accommodate all the needs and facili�es of a game-store. All the interior components were strictly pre-specified

by OPAP as for the colors, materiality and dimensions, so the main design focus was aimed to blend a part of the city’s history with a new modern use. The main entrance was elevated from the rest of the store crea�ng an entry hall and establishing a direct link with the main road creates. On the ceiling above the recep�on desk there is a hanging wooden grid with hidden ligh�ng at the back that creates an atrium effect thus ligh�ng the main hall in an effort to create a kind of transi�on between natural light-ar�ficial light and the semi-lighted condi�ons of the main hall of the store. This ar�ficial atrium is inspired from the old vene�an buildings of the area that used a similar philosophy to bring natural light into the lower levels. Hanging transparent sphere lights are used to balance the height scale of 4,5m. The rest of the store is placed at a lower level to create the feeling of separa�on between an area clearly design for focused gambling and the main entry hall that is the link of transi�on to the outside world.

On the exterior, due to preserva�on limita�ons, the façade was preserved but it was re-approached by the addi�on of a tradi�onal natural roughcast clay color that aimed to enhance the form of the building. The windows were re-designed with a style closer to 16th century’s architecture. All windows and doors are painted olive green.

1+1= 1 Uniting 2 bedrooms into 1 Master Bedroom, Chania / Crete Designing a new Master Bedroom by uni�ng two old kid’s rooms into one new space.

The exis�ng plan of the house had two separate kid’s rooms and a shared bathroom at the edge of the southern private zone, with unlimited views of the landscape. Main axis of design was the unifica�on of the 2 separate spaces into 1 and the transforma�on of the small shared bathroom, to accommodate the new needs of the home owner. The space is divided into 2 zones; the first zone is the entry and private storage area with the pass way to the bathroom and the second zone is the main-common area with the sleeping space, the shared closet and a small si�ng area for when there is a private occasion for closed quests.

The more private entry zone is divided from the sleeping quarter by a fixed storage furniture synthesis that serves a double purpose; storage in the bathroom’s corridor and exhibit area for a part of the owner’s private collec�on. Moreover, there is a stand level used as a bedside table for books etc. In the main area there is the custom-made bed standing on top of a hollow base with drawers for extra storage space. On the right bedside there is a si�ng bench with storage drawers underneath that is used as a si�ng spot or as a bedside table. The whole of the side wall is converted into a closet space.

For the bathroom, the space was enlarged to accommodate more comfortable all the spa�al needs. A separa�on wall was demolished and the pieces of the old Dionisos marble were kept to be the cladding of the new sink. The new wall was cladded with tradi�onal stucco.

Corridor-bathroom entry

All the furniture is custom designed and custom made to be adapted totally into the space and to cover the whole range of the owner’s needs. The design is a mixture of modern and classical forms embraced by principals found in the classical Cretan residences. This choice was made to create the needed update to the iden�ty of the room but at the same �me to create a spa�al biome that balances between formality and comfort. Natural wood in semi-brown tones, frosted glass and earthy tones on the floor are combined to create a total that promotes the main principals of living; a space of comfort and balance that gives energy and appe�te for life.

Transformation of an existing industrial facade / SYN.KA SM, Chania / Crete Re-designing of an exis�ng industrial’s building façade, for the transforma�on of the use of the building from a wholesale store to a modern minimalis�c super market. The main inten�on was to create a façade and a cladding that would enhance the volume of the building. A cladding of trapezoid metal sheets was chosen to be placed at the corner of the building thus enhancing the entrance and projec�ng the building by differen�a�ng it from the urban context.

Addi�onally, the main entranced was expanded with enlarged windows panels to be significantly updated, projected be�er to the main road and contribute in the main linear analogies. This gesture allows more natural light to enter the main hall of the store. The synthesis is completed by a linear canopy that enhances the linearity of the building by spli�ng the volume and by providing the necessary shading.

Transformation of an existing industrial facade, Chania / Crete Re-designing the transforma�on of an exis�ng industrial building’s façade. The main inten�on of the proposal was to create a secondary skin, an exterior shell that would enclose the old building inside. The design has 2 main axis; enhancing the entrance and projec�ng the analogies of the building. The idea was to create a grid made of solid and semi-transparent panels of perforated metal to cover the old glazed façade.

The grid was based on the old facades grid and the combina�on of semitransparent and solid panels created a game of light and shadow. The main entrance was enlarged by expanding it opening thus enhancing its importance as a beacon of the façade. Finally, the whole facades were painted in grey tones to create a solid and minimalis�c skin to smooth the volume of the building and help it blend with its environment.

Social House Renovation / Chania / Crete (Ongoing) Renova�on of an old social house in Halepa, Chania. The house has a total area of 75sqm and was intended to be used as a family house for a young couple, so the space needed to be modern and sophis�cated to help accommodate all of their new needs.

The floor plan was divided into 2 zones; the main living areas and the more private-sleeping areas. The interior wall dividing the kitchen with the living room and the small hall with the rest of the house was demolished to create an open space uni�ng the 2 uses and allowing more natural light to enter in the house. The main synthesis of the living room with the fireplace and the TV is developed along the intermediate wall that is shared between 2 social houses. The fireplace is posi�oned in the center of the house inten�onally to be visible from every corner. For the office area a sliding door was designed to cut the room from the rest of the house during working hours but at the same �me due to its materiality with steel and frosted glass, to allow natural light to enter thus ac�ng as a so� filter.

The steel structure that was added to reinforce the exis�ng building shell was intended to be enclosed as a part of the interior design by pain�ng it in light color and cladding it with wood at its horizontal sec�ons.

The only bathroom of the house was re-designed and expanded in a way that it could offer a larger space with a built-in shower and provide addi�onal storage space for the laundry and an entry closet.

The interior design was approached with inspira�on from Cretan nature and topos, with natural tones and materials with simple analogies were used to create a total synthesis that promotes locality and comfort.

The bedroom is divided by the living room by a semi-solid / semi-transparent wall. Taking advantage of the spacious volume due to the large interior height, a divider is designed at the top part of the bedroom wall with louvres and frosted glass to allow light to the bedroom and make the wall feel more “light” in the �ght space. Inside the bedroom there is a large office with direct view of the alley and an enlarged storage space.

Kitchen

The space was divided into 3 zones; the main living area in the center of the house, the private sleeping area in the North part of the main volume and the dinning-cooking zone that was developed around the backyard. The old stone wall that was dividing the main area of the house with the back part was demolished for a larger opening to be created, thus allowing more natural light into the house and crea�ng a more open field of view enlarging the main area. A fireplace was placed in the center of the house ac�ng as a filter between the living room and the dinning area, while the kitchen is developed linearly alongside the intermediate wall, in that way covered from the plain view while entering the house.

In the rear part of the house, with the kitchen and dining, the facades surrounding the backyard are all glazed to offer a 270-degree view of the natural element.

In the yard, a small water tank with a fountain is placed for the water acous�cs of flowing water to be heard in the house enhancing the feeling of calmness.

Re-approach of an old Cretan house / Hordaki village / Chania / Crete (Proposal) Renova�on/interior-landscape design of an exis�ng old housing complex in Hordaki village, Chania. The housing complex is located in the center of Hordaki village and is consisted of 3 building volumes, developed around an old olive tree. The 2 volumes are developed on the N-S axis and are placed at the limit of the small plot, while the other volume is not connected with the other 2 and is a small trapezoid volume at the South edge of the plot.

The main design idea was to take advantage of the enclosed space configura�on and the remain built area of the plot to create a building unity that would enhance the views, natural elements and be spacious enough to accommodate 4-6 people.

An addi�on was made to the further volume to the North to accommodate a second master bedroom and create an exit to the intermediate’s volume terrace. The concept was to create a volume that would enclose the staircase and will unite the 2 volumes externally, while at the same �me create framed views. The base, that consisted from all the exis�ng buildings, is kept with its original stone masonry to enhance the blending between the old and the addi�on. The floor addi�on served as an expansion of the complex’s capacity and views, taking advantage the already elevated posi�on of the plot, to expand the views beyond the horizon directly towards the White Mountains.

The trapezoid volume was united with the main building crea�ng a con�nues “spine” developed around the yard. Its roof opened to create a peripheral window thus allowing natural light inside (due to total lack of South windows). This trapezoid and narrow area was designed to be the kitchen due to both its posi�on in the edge of the synthesis and its close vicinity to the inner yard so to be used and during summer�me.

The old olive tree was kept to be the center of the exterior space, a solid image from the past projected into the future as a piece of the development.

6+1 Villas Complex / Litsarda village / Chania / Crete (Ongoing) Design of a private villas complex in Litsarda village, Apokoronas, Chania. The project brief called for the design of a luxury villas complex in the heart of the village accompanied by a mul�-purpose building that could be used by the residents of the villas as work-hubs and by the owner of the plot as a seasonal restaurant and retail store/cafeteria.

The idea was to divide the plot in to 2 parts, by taking advantage of its natural characteris�cs. The proposal develops on the East-West axis due to the rectangular nature of the plot, with the main approach/entry to be across the street of the village square. This axis of approach divides the proposal into 2 symmetric parts.

The main core of the complex consists of 4 85sqm villas and 2 larger 130sqm, with a total capacity of 28 people. Each villa has a private yard with a swimming pool and an exterior kitchen. The main living areas are located on the ground floor with the sleeping quarters on the top.

The complex is defined by the mul�-purpose building on the East and a steep hill on the South. By taking advantage of the inclina�on of the plot the mul�-purpose building is developed on two levels, with the higher one to be used as the retail store and cafeteria and the lower to be the working hub with the restaurant.

Finally, on top of the West hill, having a private approach road, is the villa of the owner that overlooks the development and can accommodate 4-6 people.
