AGIOS AIMILIANOS SEA FRONT VACATION HOUSE, PORTO HELI (2002)

This is a 1970’s sea front villa in the Agios Aimilianos area, in Porto Heli, looking towards the south side of the island of Hydra. Under a very tight schedule we were asked to renovate the villa to the new owners’ specifications. The exterior of the building was radically altered, the most notable being the renovation of the sitting room, the introduction of roof tiled roofs all around the volumes of the complex and the construction of a new swimming pool and surrounding pergolas. Apart from the above, a new tennis court was added to the one end of the site, new pathways were introduced in order to link the various parts of the land, new retaining stone walls were constructed in order to format the various levels of the site and trees and flowers were planted throughout the land.
