Designed in 2018 by Liza Tiktapanidou, this inspiring two-story house is situated in Palio, Kavala, Greece.

Description
The house is in Palio, a former resort near Kavala which is now a suburb. Like Kavala city itself, until the 1970s Palio Tsifliki featured many outstanding modernist dwellings. That memory inspired the design of this house.
The house is built on the far side of a sloping corner lot with dense vegetation. Facing east and south, it is shielded from the suburb?s main road by high ivy hedges.
A view of the sea, towards the east, is possible only from a height. This consideration led to the design of a two-story building.
The main residence is on the ground floor, which is raised on the east façade, and is organized along three axes of movement in three different zones: the public spaces of the residence on the south, the private on the north and the central entrance and offices. On the first floor, above the living room and kitchen, a transitional area operates on occasion as a guest room. From there one reaches the terrace via an open hallway that passes through a double-height interior with a southern orientation, and ends in a semi-sheltered space. This is intended to become a second living room with a sea view.
The double-height area is the dwelling?s centre. Its entire southern side is made of glass, which collects the warmth of the winter sun?s rays and distributes it throughout the residence, to impressive effect.
