We're back with another I Design, You Decide for the mountain fixer. We've spent most of our time indoors, so let's move outside and pick some paint colors.
text in EN, GR ScapeArchitecture designed a summer house immersed in the landscape and embraced by nature. – text by the authors The Secret Garden House is a summer residence designed as a part of the landscape that surrounds it, underlining the relationship between architecture and outdoor living. Instead of yet another white dot on the map, the residence is integrated into the slope. It embraces nature rather than displacing it, and establishes a new kind of symbiotic, sustainable relationship with its environment. The residence is located in Faragas, on the southwest part of Paros Island, built on a slightly sloped plot towards the sea. A small olive grove at the southern part and a cluster of pine trees to the east mark the property’s boundaries and define the available area for the house. The Secret Garden House is a challenging hybrid between landscape and architecture, a new _scape. Α gently stepped pathway leads from the carport at the southwestern corner of the plot to the main outdoor living area, set at the highest part of the property. Living and dining areas are found underneath a rectangular, elongated shading pergola, along with a fully equipped kitchen, a sunbathing deck and a shallow pond, enhancing the microclimate during the hot summer months. Sheltered from the prevailing Cycladic northern winds, the outdoor living area provides with unobstructed views towards the surrounding garden, the sea and Antiparos Island. The Secret Garden House is integrated within the landscape of Paros, following the slope of the site. The main house is semi-submerged, lower into the slope, in front of the outdoor living area. It is designed as a cave building, taking advantage of the built area bonus allowed by the Greek New Building Code. It is accessible from a passageway cutting through the existing olive grove and it is connected to the outdoor living area and the pond via a 2m wide stepped ventilation opening. Wide-span glass panels slide into the walls providing with effective cross ventilation, while turning the residence into an open sheltered space with panoramic views towards the olive grove and the sea. The residence’s indoor areas include an open plan kitchen, living room, two yacht-style guest bedrooms, one master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and all the required amenities. Patios provide with added cross ventilation, one of them acting as the outdoor shower area of the master bathroom. The hybrid character of the Secret Garden House, balancing between landscape and architecture, was further enhanced by a landscape design that highlights the expansion of the architectural synthesis in the entire property. The evergreen plants were mostly selected from local flora species, with low irrigation requirements, displaying a continuously transforming colour palette throughout the year. The pathways across the property are constructed of earthy, porous materials, which disappear visually into the ground, keeping their presence as discreet as possible. Preserving and partially restoring the natural slope to incorporate the architecture into it became a liberating gesture to the residential experience. Laying low under the trees, in line with the slope, the house encourages a selective detachment from the cosmopolitan frenzy of the island, especially during the summer months. In the end, that’s what the Secret Garden House is about: a small private hideaway in a secret garden, where its occupants can relax and find their inner self, enjoying the pure essence of living in the Cycladic islands.

Αντί να είναι ακόμα μία λευκή κουκίδα στο χάρτη, η κατοικία ενσωματώνεται στην πλαγιά. Αγκαλιάζει τη φύση, αντί να την απομακρύνει και εγκαθιδρύει ένα νέο είδος συμβιωτικής σχέσης με το περιβάλλον της. Η κατοικία βρίσκεται στο Φάραγγα, στο νοτιοδυτικό τμήμα της Πάρου, κτισμένη σε οικόπεδο ελαφρά επικλινές προς τη θάλασσα. Ένας μικρός ελαιώνας στη νότια πλευρά του και μία συστάδα πεύκων προς τα ανατολικά σηματοδοτούν τα όρια της ιδιοκτησίας και ορίζουν το διαθέσιμο χώρο για την κατοικία. Ένα κλιμακωτό μονοπάτι από το χώρο στάθμευσης στη νοτιοδυτική γωνία του οικοπέδου οδηγεί προς την κύρια υπαίθρια περιοχή διημέρευσης στο υψηλότερο σημείο της ιδιοκτησίας. Κάτω από την επιμήκη πέργκολα σκίασης αναπτύσσονται χώροι καθιστικού και φαγητού, πλαισιωμένοι από μια πλήρως εξοπλισμένη κουζίνα, ένα deck ηλιοθεραπείας, πεύκα και ένα υδάτινο στοιχείο μειωμένου βάθους που συμβάλλει στη βελτίωση του μικροκλίματος κατά τους ζεστούς θερινούς μήνες. Προστατευμένη από τους βόρειους ανέμους των Κυκλάδων η υπαίθρια περιοχή διημέρευσης προσφέρει ανεμπόδιστη θέα προς τον κήπο, τη θάλασσα και την Αντίπαρο. Η κυρίως κατοικία βρίσκεται χαμηλότερα στην πλαγιά, εμπρός και κάτω από την υπαίθρια περιοχή διημέρευσης. Αναπτύσσεται ως υπόσκαφο κτίσμα, σύμφωνα με τις διατάξεις του Νέου Οικοδομικού Κανονισμού που επιτρέπουν το διπλασιασμό της επιφάνειας για υπόσκαφα κτίρια κατοικιών. Είναι προσβάσιμη διαμέσου του ελαιώνα και επικοινωνεί με την υπαίθρια περιοχή διημέρευσης μέσω μιας κλιμακωτής επιμήκους δίοδου φωτισμού και αερισμού πλάτους 2μ. Μεγάλα συρόμενα κουφώματα στενού προφίλ εξαφανίζονται πλήρως στους τοίχους όταν ανοίγουν και μετατρέπουν την κατοικία σε ένα ανοιχτό υπόστεγο χώρο με πανοραμική θέα προς τον ελαιώνα και τη θάλασσα, απολαμβάνοντας τα ευεργετικά οφέλη του διαμπερούς αερισμού. Οι κλειστοί χώροι της κατοικίας περιλαμβάνουν ενιαίο χώρο καθιστικού, τραπεζαρίας και κουζίνας, δύο μικρά υπνοδωμάτια, ένα κυρίως υπνοδωμάτιο με αποκλειστικό λουτρό και όλους τους απαιτούμενους βοηθητικούς χώρους. Εσωτερικές αυλές στο πίσω μέρος του υπόσκαφου εξασφαλίζουν τον επαρκή αερισμό του, ενώ μία από αυτές λειτουργεί και ως υπαίθριο shower. Ο υβριδικός χαρακτήρας του Secret Garden House, ισορροπώντας ανάμεσα στην αρχιτεκτονική και το τοπίο, ολοκληρώθηκε με έναν αντίστοιχο χειρισμό του landscape design, όπου η φύτευση και το ανάγλυφο αναδεικνύουν την έκταση της αρχιτεκτονικής σύνθεσης σε όλο το οικόπεδο. Η αειθαλής φύτευση επιλέχθηκε με βάση την τοπική χλωρίδα, με τις μικρότερες δυνατές απαιτήσεις σε άρδευση, εμφανίζοντας μια χρωματική της παλέτα που εναλλάσσεται διαρκώς μέσα στο χρόνο. Τα μονοπάτια έχουν κατασκευαστεί από γαιώδη, πορώδη υλικά, που εξαφανίζονται οπτικά στο έδαφος κρατώντας την παρουσία τους όσο διακριτική γίνεται. Η διατήρηση και αποκατάσταση του φυσικού αναγλύφου με την ένθεση της αρχιτεκτονικής σε αυτό, λειτουργεί απελευθερωτικά για την εμπειρία του χώρου. Κρατώντας χαμηλό προφίλ κάτω από τα δέντρα, ευθυγραμμισμέμη με την πλαγιά, η κατοικία υποβάλλει μια διάθεση επιλεκτικής απομόνωσης από την πολυκοσμία και την καλοκαιρινή ένταση ενός κοσμοπολίτικου νησιού. Γιατί εν τέλει αυτό είναι το Secret Garden House: ένα μικρό καταφύγιο όπου μπορεί κανείς να χαλαρώσει και να ξαναβρεί τον εαυτό του, κρυμμένος σε ένα μυστικό κήπο, απολαμβάνοντας την ουσία της παραθεριστικής κατοίκησης στις Κυκλάδες. Η ScapeArchitecture είναι γραφείο αρχιτεκτονικών μελετών με έδρα την Αθήνα, το οποίο ιδρύθηκε και διευθύνεται από τους αρχιτέκτονες Σταυρούλα Χριστοφιλοπούλου και Γιώργο Ατσαλάκη. Ανεξαρτήτως κλίμακας, η Scapearchitecture συνεχώς αναζητά τον κατάλληλο τρόπο να σχεδιάσει χώρους άρρηκτα δεμένους με το περιβάλλον τους, παράγοντας ένα προκλητικό νέο υβρίδιο αρχιτεκτονικής και τοπίου, ένα νέο _scape, αναιρώντας το διαχωρισμό εσωτερικού – εξωτερικού και φυσικού – τεχνητού. Το εύρος των έργων του γραφείου εκτείνεται από corporate interiors γραφειακών χώρων μέχρι hi-end κατοικίες, ξενοδοχεία και κτιριακά έργα μεγάλης κλίμακας.

Paint color of the year and the next hottest hues are already rolling in for the upcoming year. If an exterior refresh is on the top of your to do list, pay attention to these
It's so hard for me to believe that we have been in our house for just over 5 years!!! We put so much love and time and energy and effort into building our forever home and still absolutely love it. The only thing I would change is adding a pool to our yard, but I'm still trying to convince the Mr. about that one. ;-) After the initial building and decorating, the house kind of took a back seat to life. We finished the basement and did big yard project a few years ago and then it took another back seat. The Mr. and I love a project though so we've decided to go ahead and have the exterior re-painted. We could probably wait another year or two, but some of the trim is starting to look bad and needs repair in a few spots, so we are just going to do it all at once. I've never loved the exterior color of our home and I'm having the hardest time deciding what I want to change it to. If I was building our house all over again I would replace the stone on the first floor with siding and paint the house white like this. I'm obsessed with the white farmhouse look. I really thought about painting our house some shade of white for a while, but then decided that I just didn't think it would look right with the dark stone. We've driven around neighborhoods, searched Pinterest, and looked at color wheels and paint samples until I'm blue in the face. I *think* I've decided that if I can't have a white house, I want to go the other extreme and go dark similar to these. The question is how dark. I love the contrast of a dark house with light trim and warm wood accents. I just don't want to hate it and I know once it is done I have to live with it for at least another 5 years. So that's where I am right now. We have painters coming over today to start getting estimates and I need to make up my mind quickly. I've been using a few different apps to try to see what it would look like. While it isn't great, it kind of gives me an idea?! A few other things we are planning to do during this mini-makeover are things that I have wanted since we built the house, but didn't include at the time. We'll be having a trellis built and installed over the two garage doors. I always felt like that space was kind of bare and wanted something to break it up. It will look similar to these and will be stained to match our front doors. The other thing I have always wanted are shutters. We can't put them on all of our windows, but will add them to the ones we can and my plan is for them to look similar to these. They will also be satined the same color to match the front doors! Anyone have any thoughts or ideas? I would love to hear your opinions of what you think would look good!!! Please share in comments! Follow us on Pinterest HERE. Follow us on Instagram HERE.
