The art and technique of designing and building
About This Project
Three independent four-story houses with swimming pools, built in 2008, were
redesigned and reconstructed. All residences are in Sivota, Lefkada, Greece, and
have a panoramic view of the Ionian Sea, Ithaca, Cephalonia, and the picturesque
port of Sivota village. Residence 1 is 151.90 sq m, and the swimming pool is 38 sq
m.; residence 2 is 133.60 sq m and has a swimming pool of 28.20 sq m.; and
residence 3 is 150.90 sq m. with a 32 sq m swimming pool.
Each residence has a basement, ground floor, first floor, and an attic bedroom. All
the houses are minimally decorated, and lots of their furniture was custom-designed
by ECLÉDE. It has three rooms, three bathrooms, an open kitchen and living room, a
storage and an attic. The outdoor space has an outdoor kitchen area.
Each pool’s location offers a stunning view of the village and gives the feeling of
being in the air.
