Iraklio, Crete 71500

In one of the most desirable areas in the centre of Heraklion, very close to the port and with a view towards the sea and the Venetian Walls, we created a residential complex that comes to make a difference.In a privileged plot, equipped with permeability, excellent orientation and the strategic positioning of the buildings, which is based on the exploitation of the view towards the sea, this project stands out due to its minimal aesthetics and dynamic design.The central idea of the composition was the design of two buildings, in order to ensure that the best lighting and ventilation are achieved. The creation of a space between the two buildings, gave the opportunity to exploit the orientation. The two volumes are lifted and contrasted using a consistent architectural vocabulary, creating a continuous empty and full dialogue between them.The palette that shapes the sides of the buildings is consisted of white frames, dark-coloured terraces and large openings, elements that achieve a combination of balance and architectural harmony. A particular feature of the composition is the option of choosing a residence, which expands either in one or two levels (Loft). The residences are arranged in a way that the spaces used during the day have a view of the city or the sea, while the most private spaces of the buildings are defused in terraces in the uncovered areas of the plot.The apartments are distinguished by ergonomics and functionality in all areas. The kitchens and bathrooms are designed individually for each owner and the choice of materials is based on the needs and preferences, with the continuous support of our decorators.The maximum energy classification of the building A+ is achieved by installing photovoltaic systems, energy frames, 10cm thermal facade and heating and cooling heat pumps.
