TYPE
Villa
LOCATION
Koufonisi, Greece

Swept by the constant winds of the Cyclades, observing the meeting places between sand, sea and the Mediterranean scrub.

A private villa imagined to enjoy a slow and full life with family and friends.
On the mystical island of Koufonisi, a wild and uncontaminated environment that flows into the deep blue waters of the Aegean sea.
The house is thus characterized by the interaction with the landscape.
The importance of the internal rooms is placed on the same level as the external spaces, some positioned directly on the sea, others created inside the structure, such as the courtyards, protected from the often impetuous wind.

The barren and dusty terrain is located on the slope facing the sea.
In the background, the uninhabited island of Keros so majestic and full of mythological significance.
The new structure is designed as a single body lying on the slope and leaning towards the sea below, connected by covered passages, creating independent areas of total privacy and relaxation.
