Skiathos, Sporades, Greece 2016

The building's design was determined from the site's geomorphic characteristics and the surrounding landscape. The house is located on a very steep slope in the forest. The geometric system of lines which organized the design was created according to a self-evident desire of reaching the sea. The lines revealed a path that begins from the highest level of the site –where the entrance is– descends through the forest and ends in the water. The house is developed among that path to the sea and becomes part of it.

The spaces are organized in three distinct zones that form three different volumes in the shape of wedges that intersect with each other. The first zone contains the closed communal spaces along with the master bedroom, the second contains the bedrooms and is interrupted from a big semi open communal space, and the third and last one contains the swimming pool, the guest houses and supplementary spaces. All the roofs are treated as paths and covered with stone slates
