Residence in Antiparos

Sustainable design

The holiday residence is situated on the eastern side of Antiparos, just a few meters from the sea, offering uninterrupted views of southwestern Paros and the islet of Marmara.

Design Philosophy

Positioned at the center of the plot and aligned with the coastline, the house is framed by thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. At the rear, a covered parking area and a sheltered entrance provide practical access, while the front features open-air and shaded living areas along with a swimming pool that overlooks the sea. This outdoor area sits above a garden planted with low-lying, native vegetation. The building is organized into two primary volumes: one containing the main living areas oriented toward the sea, and the other housing the bedrooms.

Spatial Organization

The ground floor includes three bedrooms, while the master suite occupies a private position on the upper floor. A core design principle -essential in any Cycladic residence- is that each interior space should extend seamlessly into the outdoors. This is achieved through large openings that visually and functionally integrate the interior with the exterior. The sense of continuity is further enhanced by the consistent use of materials both inside and out. Although the overall aesthetic is distinctly contemporary, the design pays homage to traditional Cycladic architecture through its geometry, construction methods, and the use of locally inspired materials.

Material Palette

The architectural expression is defined by white volumes, coarse plaster finishes, local stone, cement screed, and wooden pergolas. These are paired with high-quality materials and advanced technologies to ensure a standard of living that matches, or even surpasses, urban comforts. Sustainability is a guiding principle of the design. The residence has achieved top-tier certifications such as BREEAM, establishing it as the first truly “green” home in the Cyclades.
