Evripiotis Architects--Aigialos House, Syros Island

Aigialos House is located in Komito, Syros Island. The house is split over two levels and is tucked into a slope a mere 100m from the Aegean sea. A shaded pergola on the upper level provides respite from the summer sun and the seasonal winds, and the adjoining sea-view patio is perfect for sunset viewing. On the lower level the L-shaped infinity lap pool/submersed seating area is the focal point of the generous outdoor space. From here and the two pergolas on this level the breathtaking sea view can be marvelled at. Stone excavated from the plot is used for the perimeter walls and pergolas, as well as the face of the lower level of the building.

The design of the house consists of several shapes superimposed on one other. The main rectangular building is crossed by a smaller rectangle sitting at 120 degrees. The entrance and the stairs leading to the lower level are found in this juxtaposition. Even though the upper level is essentially one room, the staircase acts as divider creating the impression that there are two separate spaces. A special feature on this level is the corner window in the kitchen which frames the nearby islets of Strongilo and Schinonisi. Large sea-facing doors connect the indoors with the patio and provide natural light all year round.

The rectangles of the upper level sit on a smooth curved lower level (following the contour of the seashore). Three large front bedrooms boast views of the pool and the sea beyond. A further bedroom, utility room and storage space are built into the slope.
