Villa Chronostasis is located at the verge between a relativelv flat coastal piece of land and the hills, overlooking at the Mediterranean Sea. This interesting contradiction triggered the idea of a simple house which would offer open views to both sides. Usually, the sea view side takes all the credits; however, in the case of Villa Chronostasis, the surrounding environment would acquire equal importance at any direction of the view.

Chronostasis is the situation where the time between someone's first impression and perception from the brain is extended. Someone can observe the horizon, see birds flying, touch the bushes around and listen to the waves. The presence of the natural beauty is so intense within the villa that gives the impression that time has stopped.

The main mass that comprises ‘Ohana’ is rotated and ‘pulled back’ in order to provide continuous and uninterrupted pedestrian walkways throughout, thus ensuring that the form is in no way obtrusive to its existing setting.

Moreover, the mass’s positioning within the site is driven by two existing trees that were essential to maintain and integrate within the design.

Designed and Built in a time span of only 6 months, Ohana explores the architectural and formal characteristics of materiality and modernity within a challenging site and a limited budget. The concept was driven by the ‘city scape’ rather than the ‘single building’, in which the morphological characteristics of the design aimed for the primary geometry to be well integrated within its environment.

The KFAS Headquarters façade system is comprised from a modular system that is component based, where each component responds directly to its own solar conditions.

The external façade was subdivided into a densely packed point cloud, onto which a solar analysis was conducted for one full calendar year.

This analysis provided us with invaluable empirical data that defined how much solar gain was received by each point on the façade; as such, this allowed us to modify the opening size and slope angle of each façade component in response to the panel’s orientation to the sun and the amount of solar gain it receives.

The implemented design strategy utilised a biological model of evolution to generate a population of phenotypes that evolve towards optimal fitness. Where fitness is the measure of how well the building performs to specific objectives.
