Sliding frames are a smart choice for every home. They offer two key advantages: they cover large openings and save space. Moreover, their sleek, modern design complements the trend toward contemporary, transparent architecture. Below, we showcase four modern detached houses in Greece that have been equipped with advanced sliding frames by ALUMIL. Read on and... be inspired!

Secret Garden House

At the southeastern end of Paros, there is a modern residence, designed to prioritize its smooth integration into the natural environment. The Secret Garden House, a project of architectural firm Scapearchitecture, impresses with its smart and simple design, to create a contemporary cave. Nearly half the building is embedded into the hill, while the part that is on hillside is covered by a rectangular shading pergola.

The Four Walls

Perched at the foothills of Mount Hymettus, this impressive house immediately attracts the attention of all passers-by. The original idea of the architect,Nikolas Frantzeskos was the deconstruction of the classic rectangular square, with the four walls delimiting the living space and enclosing its uses and functions.

The residence is developed on five levels, while maintaining a comprehensive sense of unity. The insulating, sliding frames used in the project, perfectly align with the design philosophy, offering both minimal aesthetics (i.e., minimal visible aluminium) and high energy efficiency. Additionally, the ability of these aluminium frame systems to accommodate corner constructions enhances the sense of freedom and provides an unobstructed connection with the outdoors.

Villa Agapanthus

On a green hill, on the eastern side of Lefkada, the Villa Agapanthus holiday home stands out for its design. The residence, a creation of Revergo Architecture, spans across 200 sq.m. and is organized in 3 levels. The living areas (kitchen, living room and one bedroom) are located on the ground floor, with the remaining two bedrooms on the first floor. The basement houses a fitness and wellness area.

Both outdoors and indoors, the white color of the walls "blends" with materials such as wood, bamboo, reed and wicker. The large openings with lift and slide aluminium frames of high functionality, favor the integration with the external environment, while allowing unobstructed views of the endless blue of the Ionian Sea.

Hug House

Hug House is built on the outskirts of Kos town. The house is developed in such a way that it creates an inner courtyard in the form of an embrace. It is worth noting that the day living zone and the sleeping zone in the main house are distinct volumes not only spatially but also functionally. The large sliding and lift & slide windows in the common areas of the Hug House enable those who live there to maintain constant visual contact with the courtyard and the pool and ideally unify the exterior space with the interior of the residence. In addition, the earthy colors of the frames blend naturally with both the interior and exterior environment. The architects of Mastrominas Architecture who undertook the project, placed particular emphasis on the green element. Thus, both the existing cypress tree row and the citrus orchard were enhanced, while oleanders, olives, mulberries and aromatic plants complement the final result.
