h_3 House
The project is located on a plot of 7000m2 and the total area of the house is 1000m2. The house was designed to give a sense of contact with the water element inspired by the owners love for yachts. The contact of the house with the artificial ponds, that they surround it, creates a cooling sensation. The water for the lakes and the pool comes from a well, while the water demand of irrigation comes from a tank, in which rainwater is collected through a drainage system. The sustainable design allows the sun to warm up the house during winter and also protects the house from the sun during the summer. The use of geothermal energy saves energy for the cooling and heating systems. The rooms are covered with spiral that in conjunction with the solar panels on the rear side of the plot, heat the pool water. Photovoltaic panels have been fitted at the rear side of the plot for the production of electric power.
H3 was constructed with eco-friendly materials and the interior design has been designed according to the needs of the owner. The design objective was to create a luxurious and ergonomic environment with clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. The surroundings of the building have been decorated with wall sculptures created by the sculptor John Aspras that they give a tint of abstract to the house.
The architecture, the construction materials and the technologies, all contribute to the construction of this dynamic and contemporary house.
