Kontova’s
residence is located in central square of Promiri
settlement in municipality of South Pelion.
It is
a 82.37m2 residence. A challenge which is point-by-point enriched
with meretricious smart moves that taking
advantage of the space and it’s surroundings. In the binding rules
of traditional architecture and in demand for maximum land exploitation, functionality
and aesthetics the building is completely
harmonized with the environment, bio-climatic
and the traditional architecture of the settlement.
In composition many
problems were solved. The irregular
shape of plot and its relation to the points
of view, the orientation, the intense differences in altitude, the
tiny plot, the owner’s demands and restrictive legislation
which rules traditional villages of mount Pelion they
highlighted the work in a challenge which was completed
with total success.
The living
room is placed in the south side of the building
in order to have visual sight to the square and
the “artificially” created balcony. In order to normalize the altitude
differences, a basement was constructed where
its plate which is placed in altitude ±0.00 is converted to a balcony
which is prohibited otherwise in this area. The bedroom is in the north
part of the apartment, slightly under the level ±0.00 and
surrounded from other buildings to be protected
from weather conditions and indiscreet eyes.
Using
the most contemporary technologies of insulation, even in mid
winter it is not necessary to use energy for its heating
or cooling in
summer. With the help of these techniques, the building becomes
extremely economical in its function and by
extension bio-climatic.
The contemporary
architecture borrows traditional life symbolisms
and the importance of timeless existence leaving
to the owners a sweet taste
and the desire to spend more time in it.
