Formal and spatial elements typical of the vernacular Cycladic tradition are re-interpreted and introduced in this project in an attempt to address the problem and the aesthetics of applying a contemporary vocabylary of building synthesis into a traditional and strictly codified and preserved environment.

The typical elements are combined in a slightly varying way for each of the 2 houses in order for them to offer a different spatial experience to their separate owners but at the same time present a unified whole to the exterior viewer.
