The project concerns the renovation of 2 stone buildings, the main house and the secondary built around 1900 and an exterior bathroom on a wooden barrel where they used to store the olives. The plot contains mainly olive trees and is located on a walking distance from the sea.
The new owner that inherited the property wanted to restore the buildings with a minimum budget respecting their character.
Our first concern was to repair the stone shells where was necessary with new materials and techniques. Τhen to fix the wooden roofs where the woods and tiles where destroyed. In order to minimize the budget we kept all existing windows and doors and replace all electrical and plumbing installations that was necessary.
Concerning the layout of the main house of 168 sq.m we reorganized the first floor. Two new bathrooms and a new steel staircase were designed. The new bathroom on the floor was constructed by reinforced cement so as to enhance the existing shell. The secondary house of 25 sq.m. was renovated and transformed to a comfortable quest house with an external bathroom on the wooden barrel that was proposed on a spiral plan.
Regarding the new materials we used cement mortar for bathrooms and ground floors and wood for the first floor. In some parts in the interior of the house while restoring the stones we took out plaster in order to make the stones visible.
