The entrance was planned in the centre of the oor plan, i.e. at the midpoint of the slope and at the same level as the living/dining/kitchen area and the outdoor expansion. From there, a small ight of gently sloping stairs leads up to the most reserved area of the bedrooms, or descends to the living area to contemplate the landscape in front of the replace. The interior courtyards incorporate light, transparencies, reections and vegetationintotherooms.

[ ExteriorPerspective]

Two unique materials: concrete and glass, were used to solve the integration with the landscape and to respond to the formal, structural, functional, nishing and maintenance issues. The structural solution adopted was to cover each volume with a slab that rests on inverted beams that are intertwined working together throughout the house. From these beams, the slabs extend into large cantilevers. The roofs between beams were designed asgreenterracestoincreasethethermalinsulation,astheyreceivesunduringmostofthe day.

MEDITERRENEAN•LOVE located

Concept Design 2022

Collaboration with Emre Arolat Architecture

Over the past decades, the Mediterranean has awakened interest and passion, uplifting its name to the level of idea and concept. When speaking of the Mediterranean, unless referring to a single, specic aspect, one doesn’t automatically think of the sea or the territory in an isolated way but convenes -this keyword is most appropriate- the very qualities of an area rather than the land alone. Qualities that dene an idea, a manner, a world. This idea may seem easy to allure but it is not so obvious to dene: A vast environment nourished and conveyed by a rich society, thriving with our perceptions of the Mediterranean.

The site has a gentle slope from the sea level up to the northern edge. The total run of slope is about 170m. This slope may create an important constraint on many urban design aspects such as accessibility and spatial pattern. However this slope provides many positive potentials, such as vista, privacy and other ecological benets.The urban design idea has been shaped according to the various site sections which dene the density, height and landscape decisions.

Another access strategy has been thought for pedestrians. The pedestrian movement from the upper levels down to the beach has been considered via green corridors. These are not only for pedestrian access but also passive landscape zones creating voids between dwellings. These corridors have many different potentials in terms of ecological and landscape design which will be explained further on the next pages.

A bachelor apartment with dark features and low light would have a sleek and minimalist design that creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The color scheme would be dominated by dark hues, such as black, dark grey, and deep brown, which would add depth and drama to the space. The lighting would be kept dim, using warm, low wattage bulbs or ambient lighting to create a moody and relaxing atmosphere. The apartment's design would be simple and efcient, making the most of the available space while keeping the focus on the dark color scheme. The furnishings would be minimal, with clean lines and simple shapes, and there would be little to no clutterorextraneousdecoration.

The apartment renovation project involved a complete overhaul of the living room and dining room areas, as well as a customized kitchen according to the client's preferences. The client had requested a green color scheme with light grey accents throughout the space. Overall, the apartment renovation project successfully transformed the living room, dining room, and kitchen areas into a beautiful and functional space that met the client's preferences for a green and light grey color scheme.
