Ovidium summer residence overlooks the Argosaronikos Gulf<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Ovidium, a summer residence<\/a><\/strong> by Hive Architects, is located on a peninsula overlooking the Argosaronikos Gulf in Greece<\/a><\/strong>. The project is conceived as a study in proportion, rhythm, and material coherence, where architectural clarity defines both structure and experience.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The design is organized around a sequence of covered spaces supported by evenly spaced columns, forming a balanced geometric composition. This spatial rhythm establishes continuity between interior and exterior areas, emphasizing openness and measured scale. Material selection plays a central role in the architectural expression. White plaster, metal columns, rammed earth<\/a><\/strong>, and travertine<\/a><\/strong> are combined to create a unified palette of textures and tones.<\/p>\n

Hive Architects aims for volumetric clarity and material balance<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The rammed earth integrates the structure with the natural landscape, while travertine introduces a durable material reference to classical architecture. The interplay between smooth and rough surfaces enhances tactile perception and reinforces the building\u2019s volumetric clarity. For the landscape, the design team<\/a><\/strong> at Hive Architects follows the site\u2019s geometry and natural morphology. Low Mediterranean shrubs and selective plantings frame the architecture, maintaining visual coherence between built and natural elements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through its ordered layout, restrained materiality, and sensitivity to light, Ovidium establishes a dialogue between architecture and landscape. The project aims for an enduring spatial quality, one that connects human presence with the surrounding environment through simplicity, proportion, and light.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
