CHERRYLAND FARM

Upon the evergreen mountainside of Egialia, with a breathtaking view of the Corinthian gulf, lies the specific agro-touristic complex fully embedded in the surrounding environment. Inside a forest full of cherries, oaks, and plane trees the visitor wanders around the lakes and discovers stone built constructions with a history lost back in time.

Within the property of thirty acres, the design included three independent touristic residencies covering 150 square meters along with a central dining area of 120 square meters. All the buildings were erected using stone from the local region, tiled roof with aged wooden elements and at the same time fulfill the demanding legislation of energy efficiency currently into action.

The challenge throughout the design and construction involved causing the minimum possible disturbance to the natural environment and aligning the buildings with the sustainable attitude of the farm. The premises blend in harmony with the prevailing vegetation and following our clients’ will, none of the perennial trees of the erection site was removed during the process.

Entropy’s team was set responsible for the construction of the overall project starting from the demanding excavation and foundation along the steep slides of the terrain. The natural-stone constructions turned out to be a key point of the project that apart from their structural use, constitute the central aspect affecting the architectural result. In turn, the roof tiles and the window frames made out of finely crafted wood give out the desired aged feeling. The operational infrastructures involved a central propane storage tank in combination with condensing boilers for the delivery of heating and domestic hot water along with gas distribution to the food preparation equipment of the dining area.
