Secret Garden House by Scapearchitecture
Located on the Greek island of Paros, this minimalist residence has been designed in 2019 by Scapearchitecture.
Description
Designed as an underground hideaway emerging from the trees, the Secret Garden House by Scapearchitecture settles within Faragas, on the southwest part of Paros island in Greece. Instead of yet another white dot on the map, the residence is integrated into the slope, embracing nature, rather than displacing it, and establishes a new paradigm of symbiotic relationship with its environment.
A small olive grove at the southern part and a cluster of pine trees to the east mark the property?s boundaries and define the available area for the house. A gently stepped pathway leads from the carport at the southwestern corner of the plot to the main outdoor living area, set at the highest part of the site. Living and dining areas are found underneath a rectangular, elongated shading pergola, along with a fully equipped kitchen, a sunbathing deck and a shallow pond, enhancing the microclimate during the hot summer months. The main house is submerged lower into the slope and in front of the outdoor living area. It is designed as a cave building, taking advantage of the built area bonus allowed by the Greek new building code. Accessible from a passageway that cuts through the existing olive grove, it is connected to the outdoor living area via a 2m wide stepped ventilation opening.
