7 bedroom luxury Villa for sale in Chania, Crete

Two modern semi detached residences with three pools, offered together for holiday use. The transparency and uniformity of the ground floor areas, is achieved by incorporating large sliding glazed panels and a double height space in the living area in the eastern residence. The rigorous articulation of the fenestration to the facades determines the primary relationship of glazing to solid surfaces – an essential compositional device to achieve an integrated clarity of architectural form and detail. The northern residence is placed next to the liquid element, which wraps around the front façade. Thus, with the employment of glass surfaces on three sides, a visual relationship between the liquid element, the living/ dining areas, and the external spaces has been achieved. The houses are flexible and adaptable – in order to allow various levels of privacy to the individual family members, the family unit, professional carers, extended family and friends. The generous day-lighting of each individual room is considered essential, as well as the variation of daylight illuminating of all rooms through the course of the year, and hours of the individual days. Skylights have been strategically positioned above the staircases. The design looks to achieve a distinctive resonance between place, form, space, material, landscape and light, as well as addressing pressing environ- mental responsibilities. In total there are 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 6 bathrooms and 7 bedrooms and three swimming pools.
