"Unexpected" Greek house seems to have "sprouted" from the ground
An innovative house has been built in Lagonisi that impresses with its architectural design, as it seems to have "sprouted" from the ground!
Houses all over the world have impressed with their original design and they are joined by a house in Lagonisi that does not look like the others in the area. It is the impressive house "House 6 °", designed by the architectural firm Mado Samiou Architecture.
The unexpected house stands between low hills and seems to grow out of the earth like a "mushroom", looking at the sea and the sky. Surely you understand at first sight that the house does not look like you are used to see until today.
It is not a classic two-story house, but an impressive creation of architecture that will captivate you. The paradox of this house is that the bedrooms are located downstairs to have direct contact with the ground and the common spaces upstairs.
To avoid the "classic" two-story building, a long, narrow slope was created in relation to the existing flat plot. In this way, the bedrooms become ground level, while the living room and the lounge have a sea view.
The decisive role of nature in the construction
The concept of nature played a crucial role in the design of the "House 6 °". The aim of the architecture firm was not to integrate with the surroundings but to create a contrast to highlight both the pristine landscape and the house itself.
The impressive house in Lagonisi dominates the landscape, but at the same time complements it, as the white volume harmonizes perfectly with the site, while offering the family privacy and protection from the strong winds that blow in the area.
Simple lines inside the house
Inside the house, the materials and lines remain simple, creating an environment that soothes and lovingly embraces a family. The proposal of materials, furniture and equipment follows simple and straight lines to bring that purity and tranquility that is needed.
All the spaces contain such a simple result - despite the complexity of the design - offering an environment of calm, silence, protection and comfort. The "House 6 °" hates exaggeration, avarice, impression and emphasizes the bond of the family, consequently with the bond of nature and the building.
