Villa PieL

Ark4lab of architecture as Architects

At the suburbs of Thessaloniki, in Oreokastro , you can find Villa PieL, designed by the office Ark4lab of Architecture, based in Greece. The building is developed in two levels, astride a linear axus , in a way that the volume formation conveys the different functions of the space. At the ground level, you can find all main areas such as the living room , kitchen , bedrooms in a way that every place reacts with the landscape without affecting the privacy of the space   . The large openings combined with the sliding of the interior’s flooring till the outdoor dining area unite the inner life of the house with the nature outside. As a result, the villa’s ground floor is perceived by the visitor as a light and transparent space in constant dialogue with the garden and pool.

the second floor is a separate functional unit including an office space and a guest house. It is a single-material volume strongly distinct from all the approach points of the building . Same as before, on this level the interior-exterior limits fade and the relation between the building and the nature around it is underlined. The clean minimal lines of the design combined with the richness of the surroundings create a space of peacefulness. The use of wood , water, big windows and white color are combined in a way to highlight the architectural design with clarity . Earthly tones, uniform clean surfaces form the personality of the space while preserving its simplicity. The villa PieL  reflects a modern living esthetic in the Balkan area.
