RESIDENTIAL HOUSE IN SYROS ISLAND _Aristotle University of Thessaloniki _Course: Residence:meanings, spaces, residential examples _Term: Winter 2008 - 2nd year project _Collaboration: Nantia Verbi _Supervisor(s): S. Lada, L. Papadopoulos The project is about the creation of a residence in Syros island of Greece. The residence is designed to be adaptable to the needs of a 3-member family for a temporary use, mostly during summer time. It is located at the western side of the city of Ermoupolis with a spectacular view to the sea. The main goals of the design are: a. to take advantage of the view b. to make the building fully incorporated into the landscape c. to make the form follow the function A low-height building is selected which shape is based in linearity with open windows to the sea. The construction of the residence is contractual, made from concrete and bricks. However, we choose to use the local stone of Syros to create the two main masonries which emphasize the linearity of the building. Furthermore, we search for a balance between morphology and typology of the plans and the elevations to create clear shapes and masses showing in each case the change of the function.
