The Cubical Forest project aspires to be a space that has been designed based on the ideas of eco-living, co-living and wellbeing. It encourages the connection of the users with the nature, both due to its location but also based on its design. The project is located next to a dense area of pine forests and close by the sea front, two elements that became key tools of the design, that converted the project to a natural continuation of these two elements.

The Cubical Forest consists of 8 residences, with private areas for overnight stays as well as common spaces for coexistence in the surrounding area of the residences. The privacy-coexistence dichotomy constitutes the two main axes of design throughout the project. The building volumes of the residences were designed with the main criterion of privacy and security of their users. The buildings themselves as well as their openings face nature and avoid visual contact with neighboring properties. The private courtyards of the buildings and their swimming pools are oriented in a similar way, so that the users also in outdoor areas receive the feeling of privacy, security and tranquility, qualities that are also ensured inside the residences.

The common areas, in contrast to the above, were designed with the criterion of coexistence and socialization through activities and points of interest that promote cooperation, well-being and contact with nature. Sports, walking routes, resting and playing areas are created in these areas. Dense vegetation of pine and fruit trees covers these areas as a natural continuation of the forest areas that surround the plot, while areas with small crops are formed to enhance the participation of users. In this way you create a circular flow of living between users and nature, and the acquaintance and cooperation of all members of this micro-community is encouraged.

In terms of volume, for the residential buildings primitive and monolithic volumes were chosen in earthy colors, which do not compete with nature, but are harmoniously integrated into it. In the same philosophy, natural materials such as stone and wood were chosen for the surrounding area. The water elements in their turn and against the cubist volumes of the buildings follow more organic lines creating a bridge between built and natural elements.
