The project location is in an off-plan area near the traditional settlement of Triantaros, in a plot with a fascinating view on the beach of Agios Sostis and Delos island. Our approach was based on two pillars: the view and the history. Thus, the thread of thought started with the orientation, the view, the wind, and the morphology. Our design base was archetype plans of ancient Greek temples adapted to the plot parameters.

MORPHOLOGY=INSPIRATION + LOCATION + POETIC ELEMENTS OF LOCAL ARCHI-TECTURE

We designed this residence having as guide the elements of the local architecture. The stone: its color which is specific to the island and the way it is constructed, the size and the jointing. The long and narrow typology of the openings. The wooden windows and shutters. The use of marble and the processing techniques of Tinian marble workers. The terraces which are predominant in the territory. We wanted this building to emerge from the ground and to reveal itself in a simple and Doric way like the surrounding landscape.
