An island almost unique because of its rich history -from the ancient years- in combination with the endless natural and variform beauties. Its distance from Piraeus is 103 nautical miles, covered by ship in 6 hours and by aeroplane in 30 minutes. The frequence of the itineraries during the summer months is 8-10 ships and two aeroplanes per day, while during the winter months is 4-5 ships and 1 aeroplane per day. There are coastal lines to Crete-Dodecanese-Thessaloniki as well as to all the other islands of Cyclades. The complex of residences in the beach AMMITIS
is in the location PACHIA AMMOS of the island Naxos, in the
Northwest part of the island. The complex is developed in a smooth building site having an area of 8000 m2, of which an area of 7600 m2 constitutes the area of common use (access roads, cars parking, swimming pool, tennis court, grass, etc.) and the rest of the area, that is 400 sq.m., belongs to five (5) two-storeyed complexes. From these: The A’ complex belongs to the
proprietor Vassilis Coumertas. All the residences have tiled external verandas with pergolas, stores and also tiled external stairs. Each residence will be connected to the networks of electricity supply of Public Power Corporation and of telecommunications of the Hellenic Telecommunications Organisation. As to the water supply and more specially the supply of water for consumption of the residences, this is ensured by the water tanks of the complexes with the use of pump machines. Because of the lack of communal drainage pipe, the drainage will be carried out in privately-owned septic and drain tanks. The whole complex is at a distance of: The road network covering the above distances consists of broad asphalt roads which are in excellent condition.
GENERAL VIEW OF THE COMPLEX The complex «B» is composed of two (2) horizontal properties (H.P.).
The complex «C» is composed of three (3) horizontal properties (H.P.).
The complex «D» is composed of two (2) independent horizontal properties D-1 and D-2 having each one total area of 100,00 m2 and are connected by a «shelter» (a horizontal plate + 2 stone supports). The following description is similar for both H-P, D-1 and D-2.
DISTRICT: AMMITISCOMPLEX OF EIGHT RESIDENCES DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION
All the external walls are built with double bricks of 9 cm thickness and in the space between there are placed heat-insulating plates of type DOW having 3 cm thickness or polystyrene plates having 25 kg/m3 density and 5 cm thickness, depending on the width of the external beam.
-The erection of the masonry meets the existing study and the instructions for heat-protection according to the technical requirements for sound- and heat-insulation. -The internal walls are constructed with single bricks of 9 cm thickness or with double bricks and sound-insulating material in the space between, wherever it is necessary (different properties, arches etc.). All the walls in the interior are plastered with plaster of at least 2 cm thickness in three phases, of country type. First, pebble dash from sand and (pressed) cement. In the second phase guides and fillings with sand, cement and lime and last coat from stucco with white cement (in a small proportion lime and «little rice») of at least 5 millimetres thickness. All the walls are externally plastered with plaster of at least 3 cm in three phases. First pebble dash from sand and cement with the addition of building resin (ETESIT-HAFTFET). In the second phase the main plaster work from sand, cement with waterproofing material of mass CERESIT CC91. At the end, a coat from cement-stucco (artificial) with white cement and waterproofing material for plasters, of CERESIT CC-91 type. The walls of the bathrooms and WC are plastered as it is described above, in the half, and in the other half they are covered with plates of NAXOS marble having dimensions of 30X30 cm and white colour.
All the walls are painted -in the external and the interior side- with 2 coats of acrylique, waterproofing cement-paint of white colour. As to the walls of the basements (external) and to the part from the definitively formed ground level up to the ground floor and above the already existing cement, on the one hand they are plastered with pebble dash plaster of country type (consisted of coarse sand) and on the other hand they are painted with acrylique waterproofing cement-paint in grey to olive-green tint.
- All the ceilings are plastered with stucco, painted with two coats of acrylique paint of white colour. - On some ceilings of the ground floors and the storeys, a wooden lining from Swedish planks-rabote of dimensions 16x2 cm and wooden beams (slots of Austria) is placed. All the woods of the lining will be covered with moth-proof material and protection varnish MAT wood, before being placed. - On the ceilings of the ground floors which are under verandas of storeys, a NYLON is placed above the wooden lining and there are placed heat-insulating plates of 3 cm thickness of type DOW. Then this is reinforced and the coat of concrete is placed. -Externally the flat roofs are heat-insulated and waterproofed with the following works:
a) Good and careful cleaning of the flat roofs and dressing them with asphalt material (water vapour barrier). b) Placing of heat-insulating plates of 5 cm thickness of type DOW (ROOFMATE). c) Creation of flowing to the sites of the gutters with the coating of a cellular cement (foam concrete) of 5-12 cm thickness. d) Placing of a asphalt-cloth based on oxidised asphalt with internal reinforcement glass-felt and coating of quartz sand with weight of 3 kilograms per square meter, of type ESCHAPROTEX. e) A final covering with placing of elastomer asphalt-cloth with internal reinforcement glass-cloth and coating with coloured tesserae with weight 4 kg per square meter, of type ESCHAGAN. All the plates of the verandas of ground floors and storeys are waterproofed with placing of asphalt-cloth of type ESCHAGAN, before placing the slate plates from PILION. The removal of water from the flat roofs is carried out through plastic vertical gutters with cross section of 6x12 cm, while from the uncovered external verandas and balconies through siphons and horizontal and vertical gutters of plastic tube F75. All the vertical gutters are coated with NEUROMETAL and are plastered similarly to the external walls.
Also the external staircases and the internal and external stair landings, living rooms and parapets are paved with the same plates.
STAIRCASES: External staircases from reinforced concrete covered horizontally with rectangular plate from PILION, vertically with waterproofed cement. The parapets of these staircases, having a height of 90 cm, are built with two single bricks of 9 cm thickness, are plastered inside and outside similarly to the external walls, and the upper part is covered with rectangular plate from PILION. The internal ones are from metal with wooden step and are painted with two coats minium and oil paint and two coats of varnish respectively.
The windows have dimensions of 0,90x1,30, 0,90x1,00, 0,90x0,60 with window sashes and external flaps (shutters) and 0,40x0,50 with window sashes only and safety ironwork. The French windows 1,10 x2,20. In all the external frames, the jambs are 7,5x12 cm. In the window sashes the jambs are 4,5x12 cm. The framework of the external frames has dimensions of 4,5x7 cm, the top traverses 4,5x21 cm and the low ones 4,5x24 cm or 4,5x21 cm. The window sashes have parts up and down from massive timber of dimensions of 3,5x45 millimetres and window sill from pressed wood 40 or 45 cm. The external flaps are -in the complex (D) or (B)- of French-German type with small leaf of dimensions of 9x55 millimetres, while -in the complex (A) and (C)- of type «smile» from massive small leaf of dimensions 1,30x70 millimetres. All the windows and French windows have been submitted to a special paint treatment with precise application of all the stages as these are provided by the rules of the colouring art of the traditional colour (blue) of the Aegean sea.
Wooden doors from Swedish timber of A’ quality with dimensions of 0,90x2,20 and 1,00x2,20, in two forms: a) from massive timber, 45 cm thickness, panelled with a traditional design. b) rabote with dimensions of 110x12 mm. pressed with frame from European timber. All the doors will be painted with the traditional colour (blue).
The water supply for consumption in the separate residences will be done by the two existing tight water tanks, having each one a capacity of 60-70 m3, with the aid of a pump machine. For each property there will exist a separate counter with central sluice gate (switch) and then the distribution of water in its installations with a copper pipe F22 and afterwards F16. In the installation there are also included all the necessary accessories and special parts for its skilful and normal operation. In the sites of the sanitary articles of the bathrooms and the kitchen there will be placed separate switches. In the interior of the building the water pipes that are placed are from lagged copper tube of German origin, with special attention to the sound- and heat-insulation of the hot according to the DIN specifications. The hot water supply in the kitchen and in the bathrooms is ensured with the installation of solar heaters (130 lit. to 170 lit.) in the flat roof of each complex. For each property there have been installed one (1) or (2) solar heaters (S.H.), depending on the area of the property, i.e. on the number of persons that will live there. Respecting the tradition and the environment protection there will be installed S.H. with incorporated BOILER, protected with a plastic shell from ABS and the front side with unbreakable solar window glass ANTIREFLECTIVE. Outside the house, there is placed a tap for the washing of the verandas, watering, etc. Connection of a supply for washing machine in the provided location. The filling of the water tanks will be done either from the adjacent well or from the existing tank of the Community of EGGARI through a plastic pipe F100 or from the rain waters of the flat roofs after their appropriate purification through plastic pipes having dimensions of 6x12 cm.
The cupboards will be constructed from MDF of 18 mm thickness with traditional panelled design, coated with plywood, in the interior there are placed shelves from melamine as well as 4-6 drawers. All the external surfaces will be painted with oil-paint.
The waste-waters and the rain waters from all the external verandas are conveyed to the gardens around each complex. The connections of the vertical with the horizontal parts will be done through special manholes with double coverings. The horizontal drainage pipes have been placed underground. In each change of direction of the underground pipes or in the points of their meeting there are placed appropriate manholes in order to facilitate their inspection.
The whole drainage network will be aerated with a vertical pipe of F50 diameter which will surpass the height of the flat roof. The total drainage network will be appropriately tested before self-covering. All the underground rooms of the complexes are drained in separate tight pits, from which with the aid of special pumps, the sewage is conveyed to the central septic tanks. The total sewage of all the residences are conveyed separately for each one with a pipe in two (2) septic tanks (pits), divided to three (3) stages-areas for the purpose of drainage of sewage, their liquefaction and their conveyance to drain tanks.
For each residence there will be a separate counter of the Public Power Corporation which will be secured in a cavity specially constructed from reinforced concrete near the central entrance of the building site. From the counter the supply for each residence is done by a cable placed in a plastic tube F100, boxed in not reinforced concrete. In each floor there is a separate table as well as the general table of each residence. The aforementioned tables are armoured, constructed by the SIEMENS factory with automatic safety fuses and safety RELEX. The whole electric installation is done according to the valid regulations about the interior installations. The materials that will be used will be of a particular type and the works will be executed by a skilled electrician. The electric installation includes all in general the necessary materials and special parts as well as all the lighting appliances of interior and external area. In each area in the interior of the house (bedrooms-living room - WC - kitchens), there are placed the necessary sockets and switches and also T.V. sockets and telephone sockets. In addition there is provided the required electric socket-supply for the eventual placing of an electrical radiator. The switches and sockets will be of white colour of type LEGRAND. The solar heater that exists in the flat roof for each residence is also connected with the electric installation of the house, so that -in case of inefficient sunlight- the heater can operate with electricity. In addition, there is the necessary electric installation in the WCs for the eventual placing of an electric heater.
The sanitary articles that will be placed in the bathrooms and in WCs will be the following:
One fireplace will be constructed in each residence, except of the residences (three in total) of the complex C’. The fireplaces are internally built with firebricks of Czechian origin and are plastered outside similarly with the coat of the relevant interior room. The chimney is built from the separate parts of double wall of dimensions 35x35, constructed from a mixture of cement + pumice stone and externally plastered.
A central entrance is foreseen at the north-east side of the building site (borders to the rural road) consisted of two parts, one entrance for the cars and another one for the pedestrians. From the central entrance there is constructed a road of 5 m. width, which is directly branched to two roads of the same width which lead to the parking of the cars, the one to the parking of the complexes A’ and B’ and the other one to the parking of the complexes C’ and D’. For each complex three or four parking seats are foreseen.
The above roads are constructed from reinforced concrete armoured with grid T 131 which are boxed by curb channels. At the greater part of their length, there is a pavement of 1 m. width. In the perimeter of each complex a bed-yard of 2,5 m. width from plates from Carystos or Pilion is constructed. In the back and east side of the building site, a TENNIS court is constructed with the required wire fence and the appropriate lighting. In the interior core of the building site between the complexes, there is constructed a swimming pool of dimensions of 7,50x22 m. and of greatest depth of 1,00 to 2,60 m. The filling of the swimming pool will be done with sea water, which will be recycled at least once (1) a week. The operation of filling and draining of the swimming pool will be carried out with the aid of a plastic tube F55 and the appropriate electric pump. Around the swimming pool and in all its perimeter there is created an area of 5,0 m. width, with floor coated with boulders, interrupted by bands of white marble. In the above area there are placed -for each buyer- separate shelters (kiosks), from natural or artificial cane. The swimming pool can be used from all the buyers of the residences of the whole complex. For the complexes A’ and B’ and for the complexes C’ and D’ a barbecue area is created in the South-west and North-east side respectively. The rest of the area of common use of the building site, after its surface is covered with appropriate garden earth, is covered with natural grass and in some regions is planted with trees. For this aforementioned area of common use all the necessary works of substructure are carried out for the installation of automatic watering system with time-switch and for the necessary and complete lighting. All the installations of the surrounding area (swimming pool, tennis court, parking, etc.) are connected with the buildings and with paved corridors. In all the perimeter of the building site (except the front to the sea) a stone-built wall is constructed having 1,20 m. height, where the appropriate lighting is placed. For the functioning of all the installations and the lighting of the surrounding area of common use, there will be a separate electrical supply with the relevant counter of Public Power Corporation. The distribution to the separate buyers of all the expenses for operation and maintenance of the installations of common use will be carried out on the basis of the attached table of distribution of thousandths. |
