House 7
Hydra
The major sources of inspiration for the design of
this house were the walls on the island of Hydra and the neighbourhoods
clustered around its port. Gikas' paintings were also a generating
force. The house is essentially an undulating stone wall that
penetrates an enclosure inscribed within a square. The wall
divides the living areas from the bedrooms, which are located
on another level and are expressed as independent pavilions
related both to each other and to the overall concept. The
roofs are designed to resemble the hulls of boats. The formal
expression and fenestration of the bedrooms reinterpret the
house facades of Hydra, in contrast to the more contemporary
look of the living spaces.
