C-O Lab

TRES PIEDRAS

type: Ηouse complex

location: Trahilas_Serifos 

surface: 430 sq.m.

status: design

design: C-O lab (Olga Ktenà, Elisavet Kazerou)

The project involves the design of a new complex consisting of three houses in the Trahilas area on the eastern side of Serifos Island. The design concept centers around the creation of two parallel linear stone walls, interrupted by plastered blocks, effectively deconstructing the dwelling into individual building units while maintaining a sense of continuity. This deconstruction is accentuated by using plaster in various earthy tones on each volume, allowing the architectural composition to harmonize with the scale of Cycladic architecture.

In terms of the morphological approach, the goal is to ensure that the intervention is as subtle as possible, respecting both the elevation of the terrain and the natural environment, as well as traditional Cycladic architecture. The pergolas of all three houses are made of wood and cane, arranged in varying directions to create a dynamic interplay of light and shade.
