The building refers to the architecture of traditional houses in the region. It is composed of simple and uncluttered volumes, with plastered surfaces or exposed local stone, with colours in harmony with the shades of the surrounding landscape. Taking advantage of the characteristics of the site, such as the slope of the land and the unobstructed views, a cell has been created that is integrated into the Mediterranean landscape that extends to the sea. The aim is to ensure that human intervention in the natural environment is as unobtrusive as possible. The interior spaces ensure a pleasant living environment by incorporating the principles of bioclimatic design resulting from the symbiosis with the local environment and climate. Appropriate orientation of the house has been chosen to maximise solar gain during the winter months and ensure adequate shading during the summer months. Through-ventilation of the spaces and continuity between interior and exterior are achieved through large openings that create true picture frames open to all directions. The incorporation of effective thermal insulation limits the use of air conditioning for cooling and heating - even though it is naturally available in all rooms. To build Villa Landolfi, Stavropoulou Architects enlisted the services of Mospet G.A., a design and construction firm based in Rethymnon, whose founders, Georgios Petsogourakis and Kostas Moschakis, embody a new generation of Cretan entrepreneurs, open to the world and committed to their heritage. Many local craftsmen have contributed to the furnishings and decoration.
