| DESIGN NAME: Villa Atlas PRIMARY FUNCTION: Summer Villa INSPIRATION: The inspiration came from the mythological couple of Atlas and Pleione, Pleiades parents. This is why the fiber optic lights layout in the swimming pool are the Pleiades asterism. The technical and research background that is needed is specific, and a developer needs to develop safely, insulate properly, design details, and ventilate excellently a subterranean property, which is basically inside the ground. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Atlas project is an ultra-modern low energy consumption subterranean villa on Greece's Lefkada Island. This minimalistic design villa blends luxury and sustainability flawlessly.

Three-meter ceilings, energy-efficient glass panels, heat pumps, and A plus aluminum frames combined with the breathtaking views create beautiful scenery on this lovely Greek island. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Τhe inhabitants of this property consume less energy, live in a healthy, clean environment, and have a low overall energy footprint, as most things are managed sustainably. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started December 2019 and finished August 2022. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The most significant technique and methodology that needed to be considered in designing the whole project was the research of developing a subterranean building on rocky ground. Possible insulation issues on the green roves and sideways, ventilation and natural air, natural light, and humidity had to be solved next to the ocean while keeping a unique, minimal architectural design. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: This villa is 250 sqm with an additional 25 sqm laundry and maid’s room, kitchen, dining room, and living room.

We had to study very well the way the houses should be designed in order to have the right insulation, ventilation and in the meantime to provide the right functionality. We collected data from European isolation experts, we exchanged ideas with companies that participated in Leed and other green developments and we cooperated with certified companies in order to get the best quality materials. CHALLENGE: The green roves and the side tunnels were the creative part of this project along with the difficulty of developing it. The rocky ground, the Incline, and the oceanfront plot were the obstacles that had to be taken care of.
