Villa Calliope

The south side of the lounge that overlooks the sea has large, opening patio doors, which lead to the exterior area of the villa through a bridge that crosses the pool. From the north side of the lounge, ample light is diffused to the kitchen and the dining room through a large 2,5 meter x 2 meter glass opening. This opening gives visitors the impression that the whole space is merely an extension of the natural environment. The whole setting with the sea on one side and the cliffs on the other is linked together in perfect harmony.  A significant architectural element that defines the functional character of this area is the kitchen islet with a work bench, 4 ceramic cooking zones and an oven. On one side of this islet -the side of the window- there is the rest of the electrical equipment of the house: a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a boiler, a coffee maker, a toaster and kitchen cupboards. On the other side, there is the dining room with a large table for 8 people and the lounge. A distinctive element of this area is the chimney of the kitchen islet that hangs from the ceiling, right opposite the loft, and makes the space in-between that is 5.10 meter high seem smaller.The lounge area is right beneath the loft that houses the second bedroom and has two huge and comfortable sofas that can be turned into beds and the television and home entertainment shelf.  The first of the three bedrooms, located on the ground floor, is a mini suite with en-suite bathroom including a Jacuzzi tub and opens up to the front deck to offer an endless view of the blue sea. The second bedroom is a spacious duplex with a smart layout, where the upper floor can serve either as a lounge or a children’s room. The third room, the highlight of the villa’s interior, is an elevated, ’floating’ master bedroom –with en-suite bathroom- that opens up to a wonderful private veranda with a sea view. The pool is 16,5 meters long, 3 meters wide and 0,6-1,80 meters deep. It is located on the side of the villa that overlooks the sea. The water surface is lower than the lounge floor by 0,65 metres because of the bridge that is built over it. The bridge unites the lounge area with the pool area that is made of iron, steel and ship wood. The left and front parts of the pool are linked to a corridor that is 1m wide and on the same level with the water surface so that the person who is swimming can see the sea. It is also connected to the area where the barbecues and the showers are located and to the 6,5 meter x 5 meter patio.The whole pool area together with the sun shelter (that is made of iron and cloth) looks like a ship deck by ensuring a superb view of the infinite blue of the sea on one side and the rugged landscape of the cliffs of the Cape on the other.
