Ioannis Panagiotou's Polygon House Redefines Residential Architecture

Ioannis Panagiotou's Polygon House is a groundbreaking residential architecture project that redefines the traditional concept of a holiday home. The design is inspired by the natural lines of the ground, creating a complex polygon in plan view, ensuring unobstructed views of the sea from every area of the house.

The building's broken geometries and dynamic lines create a unique visual impact, while the use of industrial materials and simple, unadorned volumes harmonize with the local traditional architecture, resulting in a low-cost contemporary masterpiece.

The project, completed in August 2020, is located on Skiathos Island in Greece and is a testament to Panagiotou's innovative approach to residential architecture.

The residential building is developed on two levels, oriented on the north-south axis with the main facade facing southeast. The dynamic lines of the building volumes delimit the internal functions of the building, creating two distinct yet interconnected spaces. The use of simple industrial materials, such as metal sunshades and concrete exterior floors, complements the purity of the surrounding environment.

The project, which commenced in June 2018, presented several challenges, including the placement of the house on a sloping plot while ensuring an unobstructed view and adhering to a low-cost budget. However, Panagiotou's innovative design overcame these challenges, resulting in a harmonious integration with the natural relief of the area.

Ioannis Panagiotou's Polygon House was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2022, recognizing its outstanding and creatively ingenious design that authenticates experience and resourcefulness.
