Anchored to the Rock, Saronida
In this steeply inclined site with sweeping views, a pool extends parallel to the contours of the ground. Immediately behind this pool and enclosed behind a glass façade, all living areas are deployed in an open arrangement. Their continuity is interrupted only by a covered courtyard, disclosed to the visitor upon his entry to the house. Having turned left and traversing the living room and dining room, one reaches a second, open-air terrace. The horizontal panoramic view from the ground floor corresponds to the linear pool while on the first floor the same view is framed independently by the three bridges that are placed perpendicular to the pool. These bridges contain bedrooms; they connect to the rock behind through planted private courtyards and hover above the entry to the house. One may also approach the southern terrace from the back, passing underneath the three bridges that allow slots of light in-between. As one reaches the bedrooms, the glass connecting corridors momentarily allow views of the sea and the mountain.
