The approx. 11.500 sq.m. land plot in Antiparos island holds an amazing view to Paros and the Aegean. The three houses and the road between them were built in such a way as to protect a private feeling and maintain the views without blocking one another. At a certain time, the municipality dicided to change the road direction, and thus the whole property layout was at risk. Accessibility to every house was questionable for both pedestrian and vehicle circulation. By the time the new road was presented, our task was to redesign the whole property layout  providing an even better result than the one before.  Circulation and access points were re-invented anew aiming a new perfect balance between private and public areas.  The main swimming pool was relocated and a large pergola with an outdoor dining area and changing rooms were placed in close relation to all houses. The whole design was made in just a month and the construction started immediately. We chose a mix of an artistic style with traditional elements. A moon-gazing garden was introduced, sculptural elements were “hidden” in the surrounding garden to reveal themselves under certain routes. The element of surprise was embedded in this special garden. The project was realised in just 4 months time.
