The double height ceiling creates a voluminous light filled atrium. The slightly elevated open-plan kitchen and dining is a natural division while freely communicating with the lounge, pool and water views.

The focal point from all rooms is the infinity-edge pool, forming one with the sea. The clever use of simple durable building materials such as natural stone, inside and out, seamlessly integrates the house to its natural environment. The white and concrete grey hues, synonymous with traditional Greek homes create a subtle yet natural contrast to the tiered landscaped garden typical in the forest regions of Greece.
