GKARA house

Type: Residential
Location: Protaras - Cyprus

The project is located in Protaras near the beach and it is about a renovation of an existing summer house with the extension of two independent bedrooms with en-suite bathroom which are connected together with an open living space.
​
The signature materials of the house are wood, spatula textured walls and windows with color in the same pallet. These materials design the character of the house while keeping a minimal altitude. Touches of wood and light grey textures in the interior provide a warmer, human focused space with minimal formality providing a unique experience both inside and outside the house
​
Emphasis is given to the outdoor and indoor living spaces, the landscape design and in general to the atmosphere that gives the qualities and the ambience of a summer house. The covered outdoor living spaces act like in-between spaces for the gardens and the house providing a sense of freshness and openness. Moreover expanding the living spaces in the outdoor gives also the impression of bigger space.
