Small summer house ideas: This summer house is characterized by a Ypsilon shaped green roof that acts as both an accessible extension of the terrain while framing the most significant views from the inside out. That is located in an olive grove in southern Peloponnese. The summer house project was designed by London and Brussels-based architects Theo Sarantoglou Lalis and Dora Sweijd from LASSA architects (lassa-architects.com). Summer house design plans such a ways that the roof’s dividing pathways define three courtyards. That is form distinct hemispheres with specific occupancy depending on the course of the sun. The summer house of Greek Shores is located on the top of a hill which provides vistas towards the bay of Schiza and Sapientza as well as mountain views towards the east. The height of the house is limited to the tip of the olive trees to enable its integration with the surrounding landscape.

Summer house interior design:
The interior spaces are organized in two main parts: A more private area containing three bedrooms and two bathrooms with views towards the east and a more common area towards the south containing the kitchen area and the living room which provide continuous access to all three courtyards. The circulation through, around and on top of the house forms a continuous promenade comprising indoor and outdoor activities.
Construction Methodology of private summer retreat:
The form of the concrete shell coupled with the planted roof and cross ventilation strategy provides an environmental response which prevents the need for mechanical cooling systems. The remote location of the project in combination with the limited budget and non-standard geometry induced a construction strategy that called for a large amount of off-site prefabrication and self-assembly which allowed to reduce the construction time to 7 months without compromising anything in terms of quality or exceeding the budget.

Summer home decor ideas from the architects:
We decided to buy a CNC machine that allowed for extensive prototyping and the production of non-standard elements. This included the concrete shell formwork, the living room lost formwork/acoustic ceiling, custom window frames, interior furniture and partition systems as well as landscape and pool formers. Says Theo Sarantoglou Lalis. This ‘hands-on’ approach allowed for a minimal use of commercial ‘off-the-shelf’ products while instead favoring locally sourced materials such as concrete, terrazzo, and marble.
