W_house, is located near the waterfront of Preveza, in Western Greece. The four-member family house has two floors, a basement, and total built area of 308.4 sqm. The wide view to the sea on South is undoubtedly a main factor for the form and the orientation of this house.
Each bedroom has a unique frame of the view to the sea, including balconies that allow framed visual access to the sea.
The second floor is the most private area and a place for recreation and study. Downstairs is dedicated to the shared areas, namely the kitchen, the dining room and the living room designed in an open space philosophy. The view towards the sea is, again, generously exploited by placing lounge areas and a huge terrace on South. The pure white in the upper part of the facade appear in different colors in the different hours of the day as it reflects the sky, and thus, allows the user to experience the changes in time.
The interesting projections, shadows and angles created by the geometry provide the user with curious views to observe. As a whole this house is demonstrating an unusual look but it is still culturally connected to its social environment.
