The project concerns the creation of a new residence on an existing plot in a small settlement, just outside the city of Heraklion. The needs and experiences of the two owners, as well as the morphology and orientation of the study area, led us to the design of a stone-built undercut residence with a swimming pool and underground spaces.

Like a diamond, the shape of the building arises from the external pressure of legal constraints on a small plot of land. The facade gives character to the piece and functions as a brise-soleil. The restaurant under the pool is naturally cooled by the water that cascades over the facades.

It is a house based on a square 3x3 grid where the stairs and the circulation in the upperfloor are located in the center. On the ground floor, to avoid corridors, the rooms are connected to achieve as much space and light as possible. Taking advantage of the long views towards the golf course, we located the living room and dining room.
