#ierissos — Public Fediverse posts

House in #Ierissos, Greece, with #architecture elements from the traditional, #vernacular style of #Macedonia:
A protruding volume supported by inclined timber beams; two levels, with stone walls in the lower part and lighter materials above; wood shutters; windows decorated with wooden frame.
Many such buildings can be seen in the old town of #Arnaia.
However, Ierissos is a newer village, and the depicted house is recent, imitating the traditional style. #WindowFriday #FensterFreitag

Just love this modest building close to the sea near #Ierissos, Greece. Ultimately, it is a simple block, like so many contemporary buildings. But the addition of an outer layer of balconies/verandas protects it from overheating and, with the addition of the arches and concrete balustrades, gives it an aesthetic quality. There are no expensive elements here, and yet the result is beautiful and adapted to the local conditions. #vernacular #architecture #facade

1/2 In the area around #Ierissos, Greece, a common feature of many houses is the presence of numerous #grilles and enclosures made of steel bars, often painted in bright colors. They often feature interesting designs, though they often do not match between various parts of the building. I really like them, and I’m pleased to report that even newer buildings often continue incorporating distinctive designs. #vernacular #architecture #ornaments

Traditional building in #NeaRoda, rural Greece, likely from the 1920s–1930s. The damaged plaster reveals that walls were constructed using low-cost timber and mortar. One side—the north facade—is covered in metal sheets to protect it from harsh weather. The picture captures the sides facing public roads, while the rear features a private garden with a balcony. This is nearby the #Ierissos buildings I shared recently, which used similar #construction techniques. #vernacular #architecture
