DESCRIPTION

Armida was an existing structure dating back to 1743. A family home that never saw the modern world with electricity. It owned its own olive press and was used by the family and the village to provide their olive oil for the year. After many years of admiration and thought for the structures, we as owners used an architectural approach for restoring that initiates a dialogue between contemporary architecture and traditional Kefalonian typology. The steep ground determines the pronounced and gradient form of the building which rises from the mountain and over the valley of Tourlos, to finally balance itself with the surrounding traditional dwellings and the natural context. We wanted to do an exhibit with all of our concepts—mixing old and new, trying to meet East and West, and our fascination with all the world and materials. Because we love things where time shows in the material—especially now, in a period where everybody hates time. Everyone wants to avoid time and wants to stay young. There are no traces of the time. We wanted to do something where the time itself is the big artist. And this is where time becomes art.

LAYOUT

Upon entering you find yourself in a glass covered foyer separating living and dining and with a view of an ancient olive tree.

To your right is the modern equipped kitchen where you can cook and intake the view of 180 degrees. The villa hosts one large double bedroom with en-suite large bathroom with walk-in wet room with a surprise view.
