Aegean Summerhouse

Aerial View – Render by Studio GRiD

Set against the rich cultural context of a small Greek island, the design proposes a balanced integration of architecture and nature. The house concept derives from the combination of programmatic requirements, local rituals, geometrical and cultural characteristics of the island. The proposal creates ample outdoor spaces, with optimal orientation and selected views, taking advantage of good weather in the summer, provoking daily routine and internal functions to be placed outdoors. Daytime living enclosed spaces are placed underground, covered with soil restored to the original level. Bedrooms and guest units are scattered on the landscape, shaped like naturally corroded monolithic volumes, opening up to unobstructed views, while private spaces look into gardens within. The design embraces the landscape with a free-form intervention bringing the composition together, implementing contemporary demands and architectural expression in a harmonious synthesis.
