Upon visiting the plot in Dionysos, there was an immediate desire to inhabit its edges as if pushed by a centrifugal force, due to its bowl-like topography, higher on the sides, lower in the center and the fact that the heart of the plot was very lush and heavily forested. Also, the peculiar planning restrictions of Dionisos, where the buildings are allowed to touch the borders of the plot, instead of the usual detached suburban system, were in line with this.
The strong urge for edge inhabitation inspired the concept of the Pangaea. Much like the single supercontinent that existed about 250 million years ago, before the component continents were separated and moved into their current configuration, the house, a family residence, is designed as a single, irregular, multi-faceted stone volume, which eventually fractures and separates into four pieces: the main house, the garden shed/play house, the barbeque and the pool. The stone exterior is constructed in strata of different stones where larger pieces create the base for smaller ones. Each distinct volume settles at the edges of the plot, revealing at the locations where fractured, softer wooden, more open inner facades and defining at the same time, a large, central, open green space with most of the existing trees intact, thus preserving the feeling of living in a forest.
