A limestone house you can live in today, with approved plans to become four bedrooms around a walled pool garden.
On the left is the house as it stands, in photographs. On the right is the same house with the approved plans built. Every picture on this page is labelled as one or the other.
Nothing needs building. The house is ready to live in as it is.
Ready nowThe pool, the paving and the planting, in the walled garden beside the terrace.
Approved, to buildOne floor or both. The bedrooms move upstairs and the ground floor opens up.
Approved, to buildToday the front room holds the kitchen, the table and the sofa, and the room beside the terrace is the main bedroom. Once the bedrooms are upstairs, the front room becomes one long kitchen-diner and the bedroom becomes the living room. Drag each picture to compare.
TodayVisionThe kitchen, the sea-green beams and the window with the church dome in it are real and stay. The sofa end of the room becomes a table for eight.
TodayVisionToday this is the main bedroom. It sits next to the terrace, which makes it the natural living room. Beams, floor and the blue doors stay as they are.
TodayVisionThe stone balustrade, the pergola and the big tree are all there today. Nothing here needs building. The picture adds furniture, planting and lanterns.
The walled garden is there today, beside the terrace. The plans set a pool into it, with three loungers at one end.
TodayVisionThe green tiles, the olive tree, the climbers on the fence and the lighting are one way to finish it.
After sunset. The same garden with the pool lit from below.
TodayVisionThis part of the garden stays as garden. The tree, the rubble wall and the fence are there today. The picture adds gravel, a swing seat, planting and lights.
This floor does not exist yet. It adds two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The pictures follow the architect's room sizes and the ceiling height of 3.36 metres. Bedroom 1 looks the same way as the kitchen window below it, towards the church dome.
Bedroom 3 has the largest terrace in the house and the long view over the village. Bedroom 4 is the quiet one, with a terrace that looks into the trees. They share a bathroom on the landing.
This model is drawn from the architect's plans. Drag the slider to build the house from today to finished. Lift the floors off to look inside, or press Walk through to go room by room in pictures.
The red outline is what the plans add: two floors above the existing house, and the pool below ground level. The hatched building is the neighbour.
In the model, room sizes, floor heights, balconies, terraces and the pool follow the drawings. Furniture, planting, window positions, ground levels and the neighbouring buildings are illustrative.
The best way to judge it is to stand on the terrace.
