VILLA ARIADNI /Coastal Trio of Adaptive Reuse with Volumetric Clarity
Perched by the sea, Villa Ariadni is a transformative project that reconfigures three existing structures into a cohesive residential compound. Through selective demolition and spatial reorganization, the homes evolve from compartmentalized and dated into a fluid, light-filled complex with clear volumetric articulation and enhanced site connection.
Strategic Volumetric Reconfiguration
The project involved:
Spatial re-zoning & open-plan logic :
Internal walls were removed to merge living spaces, positioning living rooms and kitchens adjacent to an outdoor barbecue and terrace area for improved flow and experiential continuity.
Vertical adaptation :
In one of the original houses, tile roofing was fully dismantled to make way for a panoramic roof terrace—a new architectural volume offering elevated coastal views and an outdoor living extension.
Structural, Landscaping
MEP Overhaul
Every unit underwent significant upgrades :
Load-bearing & roof structure maintenance ensuring seismic resilience and structural stability post-renovation.
Brand-new plumbing and electrical circuits integrating advanced wiring and concealed piping while reducing visible service elements.
Extensive landscaping created space for the addition of a pool area, a comfortable parking area and an orchard.
Material Transitions
Architectural Language
Through coordinated material strategy :
Clean separation between indoor and outdoor spaces :
Outdoors respects saronic architecture complemented by new landscaping and an eco-pool, the indoors is completely modern and playful to accommodate contemporary lifestyle. .
Passive shading devices,
custom terrace pergolas modulate sunlight and reduce solar gain, maintaining coastal thermal comfort.
A clear tectonic expression is maintained :
Building volumes are distinct and purpose-driven—but unified through a coherent palette, texture, and articulation. Whites and olive greens harmonise with vibrant surrounding nature and coastal character.
Experiential & Spatial Quality
Through coordinated material strategy :
The compound fosters a hierarchy of interconnected spaces: private sleeping quarters, shared living zones, and communal social terraces, all organized around sea and garden views.
The new roof terrace not only enhances the architectural silhouette—it becomes a strategic lookout, providing optical connection with the village and sea canal.
