Xerolithi interior
The project involved the interior design and furnishing of a house designed by Sinas Architects & Maria Mamoura. The curved walls of the house presented a significant challenge in redesigning both the common areas and the master bedroom. The fireplace was designed as a cone that protrudes from the wall, aligning with the architecture of the rest of the house, where straight or orthogonal volumes are absent.

Cement mortar was selected for the flooring because, as a cast material, it does not impose a new architectural grid. Instead, it enhances the sense of movement and flow created by the curved walls and undulating roof. The kitchen... More

Island Retreat
A short walk from the heart of San Pedro, Belize, this oceanfront retreat was designed by The Ranch Mine and Designs by MB as a celebration of togetherness, craft, and coastal living. Created for a retired inventor and an interior designer, partners in life and vision, the home is both a personal escape and a destination for gathering, built to host long stays with family and friends in one of their favorite places on Earth.

Pende Natura
Pénde Natura consists of two independent small houses, Keli and Mandri, meaning Cell and Pen, respectively. The Cell (on the right) is composed of two reconstructed buildings dating before 1955, while the Pen (on the left) is a new construction that follows the footprint of an old sheep pen.

The choice of materials—uncoated stonework and earth-toned colored plaster—was made to ensure the volumes blend harmoniously into the landscape. The terraces of both houses are covered by pergolas made of peeled chestnut logs and reeds. More

Moustis
The Moustis cells (cell from the Greek word keli referring to old traditional small spaces), named after the nickname of their previous owner (Moustis, derived from 'must,' the grape juice before fermentation), involve the reconstruction of two adjoining cells in a "L" shape, transforming them into a residence that can accommodate up to four people. The first cell houses the bedroom of the residence, while the second includes the kitchen, living room (which can accommodate two people), and the bathroom. The three spaces are not connected internally, and access between them is through the courtyard, as was customary in traditional cell designs.
