Lavra Beach House

The design responds to the site’s geometry through a composition of staggered volumes. This strategy creates a sequence of more intimate exterior and interior areas at ground level, while a larger upper volume crowns the house and opens wider views, giving the dwelling a clearer horizon and a sense of expansion without losing the sheltered character of the plot.

Organised as a two-storey courtyard house, the programme places two bedrooms and a master suite with a walk-in closet on the upper floor. On the ground floor, flexible living areas are arranged to support everyday routines and informal family use, with the courtyard working as the hinge between inside and outside. The project frames contemporary coastal living through spatial restraint, calibrated privacy, and a measured relationship to light, air, and view.
