The residence is located on the south side of Paros Island. It is south facing, with sea and the entrance is from the north side. The particularity of this plot is its location. It is located on a cape with views from all four orientations.
Due to this peculiarity and topography, a house was designed allowing views through the house to the sea and the peninsula. Borrowing elements from the late modernism architecture, translated and designed on a piece of land next to the sea, the residence forms a large, covered surface resting on walls, that acts as panels, defining views and places of inhabitation.
The water elements, the courtyards, the planting are organized through and under the living surface, unifying the sea, the beach, the landscape with the living spaces.
The walls work with the roof panels to stimulate movement and shape the architectural promenade space. This movement through the elements initiates a progress of discovery during living experience, offering new perspectives and material details previously invisible.
The interiors are shaped by local architecture, the spirit, history, and nature of the place, but also by the personality and needs of the customers.
The strength of the place, its nature and its light, led to the use of entirely natural materials and colors. On the floor a Mediterranean stone, lightly hammered, laid in an intricate and characteristic pattern, covers all the interior and exterior floors, softening the dazzling white of the walls. The wood in cold color of all the furniture brings nature into the residence. The terracotta tiles in bright Mediterranean colors characterize the bathrooms. The lighting is extremely discreet to avoid interference with the magic of the moon and stars at night.
The reference to the Greek summer is evident in the way the spaces are not unambiguously defined and is like flowing towards the landscape and the sea. The dwelling is an interpretation – a borrowing of elements from the principles of modernism (so associated with Cycladic architecture) with the aim of unifying and erasing the boundaries between natural and inhabited space.
