VILLA GAIA

LARNAKA / RESIDENTIAL

Named after the ancient Greek personification of Earth, Villa Gaia celebrates grounded tones and expressive materiality. Generous openings and sculpted niches establish an effortless connection between interior spaces and the outdoors.

The material palette features polished limewash plaster enriched with mineral pigments, complemented by sections of rock-face TOM cladding. Floors crafted from natural stone and bare timber form an architectural composition that fully reflects the client’s ambition to create a sustainable, tactile, comfortable, and discreetly private home.

Within the ground-floor open living area, bifold doors extend towards the terraces and garden. The three bedrooms sit three steps above to enhance seclusion, while the office and guest room sit three steps below the living space, following the site’s natural contours and ensuring a consistent, intuitive flow.

Strategically placed windows and roof lights frame verdant views and draw in daylight, while distinctive sliding louvre screens along the street elevation offer controlled glimpses inward without compromising privacy.
