Villa Calliope

The south side of the lounge that overlooks the sea has large, opening patio doors, which lead to the exterior area of the villa through a bridge that crosses the pool. From the north side of the lounge, ample light is diffused to the kitchen and the dining room through a large 2,5 meter x 2 meter glass opening. This opening gives visitors the impression that the whole space is merely an extension of the natural environment. The whole setting with the sea on one side and the cliffs on the other is linked together in perfect harmony. 

A significant architectural element that defines the functional character of this area is the kitchen islet with a work bench, 4 ceramic cooking zones and an oven. On one side of this islet -the side of the window- there is the rest of the electrical equipment of the house: a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a boiler, a coffee maker, a toaster and kitchen cupboards. On the other side, there is the dining room with a large table for 8 people and the lounge. A distinctive element of this area is the chimney of the kitchen islet that hangs from the ceiling, right opposite the loft, and makes the space in-between that is 5.10 meter high seem smaller.The lounge area is right beneath the loft that houses the second bedroom and has two huge and comfortable sofas that can be turned into beds and the television and home entertainment shelf. 

The first bedroom is on the left of the entrance and has a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with a hydro massage tub. Huge patio doors offer a superb view of the sea and lead to the patio, right above the pool. A staircase across the bedroom leads to the office in the bedroom loft, above the bathroom. The loft is in the same area as the bedroom and it is divided from it with a protective divider.The same idea was used in the bedroom on the other side of the lounge: it is the children’s bedroom with 2 beds, only the loft is much larger and instead of an office it has two more beds. In this way, the bedroom can sleep four children. The en-suite bathroom has a shower cabin and a hydro massage tub.The third bedroom is inside the loft and it is divided by two glass dividers, from the kitchen and the en-suite bathroom. The bathroom is tiled in green Arabic tessera. Huge patio doors on the side of the sea lead to the balcony right above the pool bridge. 
When you lie down in bed, listening to the sound of the waves bursting on the sea shore right beneath you, watching the blue colour of the sea unfold in front of you and the oak floor in complete harmony with the wooden roof and its supporting beams, you forget that you are at home and think that you are in a luxury suite of a cruiser ship. 

The pool is 16,5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 0,6-1,80 meters deep. It is located on the side of the villa that overlooks the sea. The water surface is lower than the lounge floor by 0,65 metres because of the bridge that is built over it. The bridge unites the lounge area with the pool area that is made of iron, steel and ship wood. The left and front parts of the pool are linked to a corridor that is 1m wide and on the same level with the water surface so that the person who is swimming can see the sea. It is also connected to the area where the barbecues and the showers are located and to the 6,5 meter x 5 meter patio.The whole pool area together with the sun shelter (that is made of iron and cloth) looks like a ship deck by ensuring a superb view of the infinite blue of the sea on one side and the rugged landscape of the cliffs of the Cape on the other.
