Villa Mirador Vouliagmeni

Description

THE SITE The site covers a narrow, sloping plot along the Kavouri seafront and offers a unique blend of natural beauty, architectural potential, and environmental orientation. Location: • Positioned directly on the Kavouri coastline, offering unobstructed sea views and sunset-facing façades • Surrounded by lush natural vegetation, with a strong visual connection to the open sea and sky • Situated within one of the most desirable residential areas along the Athens Riviera • Close proximity to Vouliagmeni, Glyfada, and other key southern suburbs • Accessible to key amenities while retaining a sense of seclusion and tranquility Size: • Though narrow in shape, the sloping terrain allows for an advanced vertical configuration across four levels • The site’s dimensions are fully utilized through a lightweight steel-frame structure that minimizes land disruption • The layout enhances the architectural presence of the building while maintaining sensitivity to the surrounding landscape Facilities: • Designed with sustainable principles in mind, the residence incorporates a green roof, solar panels, and vertical gardens • Features include an ornamental pool beneath an angular skylight, an infinity pool with a cascading waterfall, and multiple planted façades that integrate architecture with nature • The house supports a contemporary lifestyle with adaptable internal spaces, maximizing light, views, and fluidity between indoors and outdoors Design strategy: • The project responds to the site’s natural slope and orientation by developing vertically, allowing the residence to rise above the terrain while preserving open views • A clear hierarchy of spaces—from garden to rooftop—encourages a gradual spatial experience, enhanced by natural light and framed vistas throughout the home Materiality: • A refined palette of volcanic stone, green glass batons, wood, and aluminum forms a rich textural dialogue with the landscape • Climbing plants, a green roof, and a translucent living wall soften the building’s presence and enhance sustainability, while solar panels and environmentally conscious materials underscore the design’s ecological commitment
