| DESIGN NAME: The Z Shaped Creation PRIMARY FUNCTION: Residential Building INSPIRATION: The inspiration that triggered the design of this bioclimatic solar house in Fasoula, Cyprus, was the will to create a white Z shaped form, that was going to characterize the morphology of the building. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A bioclimatic house in Fasoula, where the creation of a white Z shaped form, characterizes the morphology of the building. The spaces were translated in volumes which created a composition that was placed into the cavities of this white form. The design is moved by simple geometries touching the modern minimalistic trends, which led to the use of exposed concrete, large wooden surfaces and the use of the neutral white color. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: A minimalistic three-level house, placed in a slope, with the parking spaces made in the earth, as a basement. This was built with stone masonry, willing to highlight the relationship between the building and the environment and to create a solid morphological base for the development of the design, which is moved by simple geometries touching the modern minimalist trends. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design started in 2017, and the construction in 2019. The project was completed in 2020. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Concrete based structural system. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: A 230 sqm house, built in 3 levels, one basement and 2 stories above. TAGS: bioclimatic house, residential building, environmental design RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Through our design, we wanted to investigate whether the integration of bioclimatic methods into the development of the design, could result a harmonious, functional composition. CHALLENGE: The integration of bioclimatic methods into the development of the design, combined with the need of an operational building, was the main creative challenge of our design.

NAME: Vassiliades Architects PROFILE: Vassiliades Architects was founded in 1985 in Limassol, Cyprus by George Vassiliades and Stalli Talea, with Constantinos Vassiliades joining in 2012. The firm operates in the fields of architecture, urban, landscape, product and interior design, focusing on energy efficiency and has conducted studies in Cyprus and in Greece, whilst it has an active involvement in academia and research. The design team practices with the knowledge that there are different places, different times, different people and different needs. Variables that dictate separate ways of dealing and shape their own forms, volumes, materials etc. Relations between lines, planes and surfaces, are transformed into forms that balance between simplicity and diversity. The common, but not unequivocal way of approaching, gives every time character and readability. The design has a prior concern to serve human needs, to facilitate motions, activities and functions, always with the necessary tool of our times, the bioclimatic strategies. Friendly and comfortable environments allow the user to understand, experience and love his space, at a time where too often the functionality is sacrificed for the "demonstration" and the sensationalism. The active participation of the client to the development of the proposal and the respect to his preferences, are combined with our knowledge and experience in order to achieve the desired result: Clean, qualitative and harmonious compositions that are consistent with the different needs, interact with the space, the time, the place and the people. |
