Traditional Building for Sale in Chania, Crete - Topolia Village

Within the settlement of Topolia, a complex of nine rooms was redesigned. This traditional building complex is located on a single plot and is a complete accommodation proposal for all those who seek contact with nature, history, tranquility, and aesthetics.

With natural materials such as wood, stone, and terracotta, the complex has been restored and recreated, having been transformed into the ideal accommodation where you will experience unforgettable holiday moments on the island of Crete.

The focus of the compositional process was the way of integrating new, modern elements into the traditional fabric, without altering the traditional elements of the complex and the image of the settlement as a whole. We chose to retain the stone in the pre-existing buildings in order to achieve complete harmony with the whole settlement and we used overlay mortars in the remaining parts of the complex.

The building is developed on the ground and first floor, which are connected by an external staircase. The aim of the architectural approach was to design independent residences, which will have a common courtyard, surrounded by trees while ensuring unobstructed sea views. The design logic of the interiors followed is an “open plan” isolating only the toilet and shower functions.

Staying true to the logic followed for the exteriors, we chose natural materials and colors for the interiors of this traditional house as well. Pressed concrete, built-in bathrooms, wood, and light colors characterize the interiors.
