Thassos Loft

The architectural firm Minas Kosmidis Architects was called upon to design the interior of a summer house in Thasos. It is a 150 square meter house that meets the needs of a family of three. Kim Powell Kim Powell Kim Powell Kim Powell In the existing shell, a stone structure which was preserved, a metal structure was added to support the second level of the house. The layout of the first level is organized in an open plan, with the staircase and secondary functions positioned at the back, leaving an unobstructed view of the sea from the living area. The kitchen is designed with folding doors, allowing it to be completely hidden as a wooden box. Kim Powell Kim Powell Kim Powell Kim Powell On the sec... More

Helios Selene

In the quiet area of Potamia, on the island of Thassos, where the mountainous landscape meets the presence of the sea, — two sibling residential complexes were designed: Helios and Selene. Two architectural compositions that engage in a subtle dialogue through light and shadow, day and night, water and land. Modulus Architecture Modulus Architecture The absence of direct sea views was not treated as a limitation, but as a starting point for the design. The project deliberately turns inward, seeking its own landscape—an internal environment organised around the element of water, where the swimming pool acts as a core of life, calmness and social interaction. Around it, the residential volumes are arranged in a gesture... More

LES DEUX MURIERS

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.

Vacation House in Sikinos

This project presents a two-level residence nestled in the heart of the traditional village of Sikinos on Sikinos Island. The structure deploys as a single volume arranged over two levels, connected by an external staircase that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living. Constantine Bouras Studio   The volume of the residence balances solidity and lightness through material contrasts: a whitewashed stone base grounds the design, while the upper volume’s smooth plaster finish conveys subtle elegance. Constantine Bouras Studio The ground floor embraces the daily living spaces—living room, kitchen, and dining area—opening directly onto a shaded courtyard designed for outdoor living. The private quarter... More

Themaso Villa Developments

Located at the Southeast part of Karpathos, this site is already gifted with a wide view of the sea and the warm Aegean sunset. An 11-luxury villa development is strategically laid on the 6,530 sqm site while its landscape follows the natural topography allowing a centered green courtyard to develop as a breathing space between the volumes. The 11 villas make their appearance on the perimeter of the site, positioned in a way to allow endless views from all residences while providing privacy between the guests. A separated but well-connected building completes the hospitality experience by housing necessary common use facilities, a welcome hall, a breakfast veranda, and other supporting facilities. A conversation between dark and light vol... More

House H

A holiday house capturing its site’s features, rock formations, mature wild olive trees and spectacular views towards Ionian Sea. Upon a concrete base with an overhanging pool sit the walls, roof and canopy made from prefabricated timber. Caption The holiday house is located on a sea front plot on the western coast of an island, a site shaped by rock formations, a mature wild olive trees’ grove and spectacular views towards the Ionian Sea. The design aims to create a single-storey house engulfing the existing tall olive trees with a minimum impact on terrain and nature. The trees’ foliage in combination with a cantilevering parabolic timber canopy function as a climatic moderator offering comfortable, protected space... More
