1968. rare prefab house Nikolaos Xasteros
About the Item
THE XASTEROS HOUSE Made from fibreglass and measuring 50m, the Xasteros House is something of a rarity. it is believed that no more than ten exambles were ever manufactured The patent for the design was registered in September 1969 for a company called Alta, which whom Nikolaos Xasteros collaborated. Between 1973 and 1978. he went on to produce them under his own name. Originally, the interior was divided into a sitting room, small kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Some 15 years ago, one of the structures was discovered abandoned in a forest close to the seaside resort of Loutraki to the west of Athens. After the interior was gutted, the house was exhibited at the 2nd Athens Biennale in 2009 by the Greek architecture collective, Errands. Rather enigmatically, the group lost track of it soon after it was dismantled and its whereabouts today are unknown. Apart from the one at Terra Remota, only one other example is believed to exist for certain today. Located directly on the coast in Kalyvia Thorikou, it has been integrated into a larger structure and now sits on a platform to which it is linked via a staircase.

NIKOLAOS XASTEROS (1928 - 1988)
Nikolaos Xasteros was born in Kvoarissia in the southwest of Greece in 1928 His rather was a civil engineer. who moved the ramily to Alexandroupolis near the Turkish border after World War l.in 1954-55. Xasteros studied architecture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts (Fine Arts School) in Paris and then spent a short time in the office of Louis Aublet, who most notably designed Nice airport. Xasteros then returned to Athens where he opened his own firm in 1958, going on to work largely on villas and residential buildings in both the Greek capital and Alexandroupolis.
In 1967, he founded the company Plastidomiki Athens with the aim or manufacturing lent, prefabricated houses made of tibre glass. His idea was that they would serve as holiday homes, which could be place anywhere in the countryside. The first was built two years later, although only a small number were ever produced. Their commercial develooment was hampered by a new Greek law passed in the Seventies prohibiting prefabricated homes from being installed on plots smaller than 4,000m2. Nikolaos Xasteros died in Athens in 1988.
FRENCH VERSION
Fabriquée en fibre de verre et avec une surface de 50m2, la maison Xasteros est une découverte rare. On estime que seulement une dizaine d’exemplaires ont été produits. Son brevet a été déposé en septembre 1969 au nom de la so- ciété Alta, avec laquelle Nikolaos Xasteros collaborait. Entre 1973 et 1978, il les propose sous son propre nom avec à l’intérieur un salon, une petite cuisine, une chambre et une salle de bains. Il y a une quinzaine d’années, la collective d’architectes grècque Errands a dé- couvert une de ces structures abandonnées au milieu d’une forêt près de la station balnéaire de Loutraki à l’ouest d’Athènes. Après avoir vidé son intérieur, elle l’a exposée à la 2ème Biennale d’Athènes en 2009. Mystérieusement, elle a perdu sa trace après son démantèlement et ne sait plus où elle se retrouve. A part celui installé à Terra Remota, un seul autre exemplaire a pu être réperto- rié avec certitude à ce jour. Situé directement sur la côté à Kalyvia Thorikou, il a été intégré à une structure plus grande, posé sur une plateforme à laquelle il est relié par un escalier.
L'ensemble est démontable et transportable sur un camion plateau de 13m ou container.

NIKOLAOS XASTEROS (1928 - 1988)
Nikolaos Xasteros est né à Kyparissia dans le sud-ouest de la Grèce en 1928. Son père était ingénieur en génie civil et après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, la famille déménage à Alexandroupoli près de la frontière avec la Turquie. En 1954–55, il étudie l’architecture à l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris, suivi par un stage de quelques mois dans les bureaux de Louis Aublet, à qui l’on doit notam- ment l’aéroport de Nice. Par la suite, Nikolaos Xasteros est rentré à Athènes où il a ouvert sa propre agence en 1958, se spécialisant principalement dans des villas et des im- meubles résidentiels. En 1967, il fonde la société Plastidomiki Athènes avec le but de produire des maisons préfabriquées légères en fibre de verre. Pour lui, elles devaient servir de maisons de vacances qui pourraient être facilement érigées à la campagne ou en bord de mer. La première a été construite deux ans plus tard, mais par la suite très peu d’autres exemplaires ne sont sortis de l’usine, leur développement commercial ayant été freiné par une nouvelle loi votée en Grèce dans les années 70 interdisant l’installation de maisons préfa- briquées sur des terrains inférieurs à 4.000m2. Nikolaos Xasteros est décédé à Athènes en 1988.
