Villa "Scales"

Design, planning, construction management in Greek language,craftsmanship, furniture making.

Reconstruction and expansion of a 100 year old stone house with an pre existing building extension from the sixties.

The main building was at the beginning in ruins. The ground floor was used as a stable. The owners wanted a completely renovated and modernized reconstructed country according to contemporary standards and generous space coordination for their families. The typical character of a Greek farmhouse is preserved. In addition to the main works, furniture such as tables, kitchen and bathroom were personally designed and built.

The building was permeated by large cracks and prone to collapse on further expansion. To avoid the collapsing of the building, stabilising the interior stone walls with the addition of 3 concrete anchors while hiding them to keep the clear traditional character.

Due to efficient planning of the limited usable area, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a guest room toilet, two storage rooms and a large living room with open kitchen were achieved without sacrificing the spacious overall feeling.
