House with arches
A newly constructed dwelling that exudes the charm of a bygone era. Nested in a concealed hillside location, the residence boasts panoramic vistas of the surrounding fields and sea. The building was erected entirely from local stone in the ancient style of house construction, commencing from the ground upwards. The home is comprised of several levels, harmoniously following the natural contour of the terrain.
The rough-textured walls are reminiscent of simple farmhouses, while the marble-framed doors and windows draw inspiration from the grandeur of the island’s old mansions and monasteries. The stone-paved courtyards and cellar add to the uniqueness of the home, which is simultaneously eco-friendly, traditional, and modern, serving the needs of a family.
During the hot summer months, the small openings above the windows facilitate natural ventilation, while the thick stone walls retain warmth from the fireplace, keeping the house cozy during the winter. The surrounding area features flower-filled patios and a vegetable garden, making this home a haven of beauty, security, and comfort.
