PROJECT DESCRIPTION

TWO-STOREY HOUSE IN MYKONOS
MYKONOS

The project was a two-storey house above the new port of Mykonos, in the area named Troulos, with panoramic view of Mykonos city and islands Delos and Syros. On the ground floor are situated the living rooms and the kitchen, while on the first floor are the bedrooms with private bathrooms. An interior atrium optically connects both levels, while the staircase seems to float between levels.
White and stone blocks resembling crude, stone, wood and irregular plaster are the main features of the home that give it a sense of austerity. Large openings are placed in the south to the sea and the view. At the north part small openings were created for visual escapes.
Outdoor there are wooden pergolas and polished cement floor and a long glazing wall as wind deflector which does not prevent the view and “becomes one” with the landscape. Indoor, there is the same simple aesthetic: ceilings and wood floors in natural color, white walls, bathrooms covered with polished cement.
