Stasa Aegina

The two-story traditional house (105 sqm), built in the late 18th century, was restored into an atmospheric villa with respect to the authentic character of the building that is part of the architectural heritage of Aegina and is characterised by the colourful and neoclassical buildings. The house consists of a ground floor and a first floor that communicate with an external stone staircase. The renovation preserves and highlights all the traditional elements, using local ways of building from limestone, and the most modern equipment. It has two elegant apartments, one on the ground floor with kitchen and bathroom and one on the first floor with a W.C. which have modern infrastructure of high quality and aesthetics maintaining their authentic character, offering homely comfort and warm hospitality. The interiors combine the timeless style and beauty of folk architecture with a modern minimalist décor that uses wood, stone and forged cement mortar. The purity of forms and volumes are used to highlight the plasticity of small spaces. The configuration of the interior is combined with the white walls, the smooth surfaces of the floors made of cement mortar and wood, the raw wooden beams on the ceilings and the recesses that emerges through the natural light which diffuses inside the wooden windows. The exterior facades are made with Kourasani coloured plaster (a ready-made bioclimatic marble) in the colour of the Aeginian houses visually unifies the residence with the environment. The outdoor area is formed with built-in levels and a living room. The simplicity of the construction and the continuity of the materials aims at the gentle transition from the exterior to the interior and from nature to the construction.
