Located on a steep and rocky 2,500 m² plot, G House is conceived as a single-story compact dwelling, positioned on a partially leveled area previously intervened by former landowners. The untouched portions of the site have been preserved and shaped with a landscape design approach that prioritizes the site’s existing olive trees and natural topography. This sensitive integration not only reinforces the house’s harmony with its environment but also offers residents a living experience deeply connected to the landscape.

Carved into the hillside, the house engages the terrain through a restrained architectural language. Its linear form follows the site’s natural contours, while expansive glazing blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. Framed views of the Aegean Sea and olive groves anchor the home in its context, with all living spaces organized to enhance this uninterrupted visual connection.

With a closed area of approximately 150 m², G House brings together the essential functions of living in a simple and efficient layout. Facing the main view, the building splits into two volumes: one for living, the other for resting. Between them lies a calm courtyard that welcomes visitors at the entrance, acting as both a spatial threshold and a pause that opens toward the landscape.

The open spaces along the view-facing façade are shaded by a pergola system integrated into the building’s structural logic. Working in tandem with the steel framework, the pergola forms a deep cantilever free of vertical supports, establishing a seamless connection with the outdoors. This allows terraces to offer a sheltered yet open spatial experience.

As one approaches the rear of the house, the open and airy character of the front transitions into a more controlled and enclosed form. In the rear volume housing the service areas, the tectonic composition emerges through the interplay of distinct masses. While smooth surfaces define the core spaces, the in-between zones are articulated with varied textures and materials, bringing both functional clarity and spatial richness to the architecture.

A 15-meter stretch of continuous glazing wraps the eastern edge, softening the boundary between interior comfort and the raw beauty of the outdoors. The glazing system, including corner conditions, eliminates the separation between inside and outside, allowing living spaces to spill effortlessly into the surrounding landscape. Whether bathed in morning light or glowing from within at dusk, the house becomes an extension of the hillside, minimal, open, and deeply rooted in place.

Inside the house, the presence of four stone walls, running perpendicular to the sea, remains a defining spatial element. These textured surfaces continue from outside to inside, reinforcing the connection between the two realms. Each interior volume is aligned with framed views and bordered by stone walls that connect the solid rear masses with transparent façades that open toward the landscape.

The interior maintains a close relationship with the courtyard and terraces, allowing nearly every space to enjoy uninterrupted visual access to the outdoors. This relationship is amplified by a transparent façade enhanced with structural setbacks, enabling uninterrupted glass surfaces and a continuous play of light and shadow throughout the day.

The interior material palette is deliberately subdued yet layered. Dominated by dark tones, the space features exposed concrete, oxidized-look porcelain, deep-toned oak, and black brushed wood accents. Shiny metal trims punctuate surfaces, offering a striking contrast to the overall subdued ambiance. This darker interior composition serves as a counterbalance to the luminous glazed envelope, enriching the spatial experience.

In the details, materials meet directly without intermediary elements. Concrete, porcelain, and oak are placed side by side in deliberate contrast, preserving the integrity of each surface while creating a quiet but striking tension. This contrast continues on the exterior, where the stone walls are complemented by corten, black linear-textured aluminum, and porcelain cladding. These layered materials complete the architectural expression, fostering a strong dialogue between interior and exterior, light and mass, openness and enclosure.
