Within the settlement of Topolia, a complex of nine rooms was redesigned. This traditional building complex for sale 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 that our real estate agency in Chania offers you, 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 in 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 view. The design logic of the interiors followed is “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.
