Designed by Brussels-based architect Olivier Dwek and completed in 2015, the Silver House is a spectacular private holiday residence located on the Greek island of Zakynthos. Set upon a forested hillside, the structure responds to its breathtaking surroundings, offering uninterrupted views over the neighbouring island of Kefalonia. Inspired by the late French artist Yves Klein and his monochrome paintings, Olivier Dwek placed a focus on infinite blue being the most important contextual element defining the house\u2019s orientation, volume and spaces.<\/p>\n
The residence is divided between two levels with the lower floor comprising an entrance hall, living area with dining room and kitchen, swimming pool, terraces, patio and a bedroom, while the second floor houses the master bedroom. Creating a strong relationship between the site and its context, all the living areas are oriented towards Kefalonia\u2019s seashore; meanwhile the ground floor living and dining rooms can be connected to the outdoor areas via large sliding doors, creating a smooth transition between the interior and the exterior. The house\u2019s two exposed terraces are protected from the offshore winds by high walls, thereby allowing the occupants to use them throughout the day. Dwek\u2019s clean lines and rectilinear forms create dynamic, geometry-geared perspectives framing the views, whilst the use of a bright white for the interior \u2014for everything from walls to cabinets and linen\u2014 allows the gaze to wander across the soothing, ever-changing blue of the Ionian Sea.<\/p>\n
