Dena villa project, actually built 20 years ago. It had a complicated and closed plan, the owner of which wanted to make fundamental changes and general reconstruction, due to the age of himself and his wife.

We have followed two main goals for the improvement and reconstruction of this villa:

• Using the maximum natural light
• Integrating the separate spaces in order to create spatial flexibility while maintaining the character of each area

For using the maximum light, in order to create visual transparency and connecting the interior spaces to the yard, we increased the number and area of the windows. Also by using some skylights, where there was the possibility of construction, we illuminated the dark spaces.

In order to make spatial integrity, after removing the walls, creating spatial confinement in all three levels, we designed a number of new walls for new spatial divisions, then we strengthened the structure of the building. The spatial separations were made by  Suspended separators in order to maintain spatial fluidity. We also eliminated the height differences in first level to achieve an integrated platform.

For enlarging  the functional spaces of the villa, we added a guest room and a breakfast space to the first level of the project.
