A Country Home in Aghios Nikolaos, Crete

A project of ours, just completed is a unique Country Home just outside of Aghios Nikolaos. This is a private home for a local client who had purchased a plot of land which contained a 20 year old brick shell building. We did extensive planning on the situation of the plot and were able to design an amazing Country Home with the feel of tradition while incorporating modern elements of materials and features. Our visions were brought to life through our detailed drawings and sketches and implemented in the construction, which commenced in Spring of 2008. Unique combinations of traditional local stones and earth-tone painted plastering were incorporated in the exterior facades of the building and landscaping. We brought the stone element into the interior spaces of the home and used it to complement the rich dark wood of the floors, windows and doors. The painting techniques used throughout the interior spaces brings a sense of warmth from the colour tones and a traditional feel. The kitchen is outfitted with top of the line custom built cabinetry which follows the design approach of the entire house. One of the noted features of the house is the combination of wood flooring and Rosa Portogallo marble in the bathroom. We were able to completely reconstruct the brick shell base and transform it into a jewel. We invite you to watch this video showing the transformation from a dream to reality.
