Natural integration
The complex of three undercut houses is situated in southern Evia, east of Karystos, in the “Sedouki” area, on a steep, south-facing plot.
Design Philosophy
The residences occupy the eastern part of the plot, which includes six independent vertical properties, where a building is constructed on three of them, one per property. This design ensures the privacy of each residence, while they collectively appear as a single structure through their architectural configuration. The complex is strategically placed on the hillside, offering unobstructed views of the sea and the surrounding natural landscape. The buildings are naturally integrated into the plot, featuring a uniform morphological approach for both the built areas as well as their respective open spaces.
Interior Layout
Each residence includes two bedrooms, a master en-suite bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a second bathroom. Additionally, it comprises a private swimming pool with a terrace, built-in sofas, and a barbecue area. Natural light floods all spaces through skylights at the back of the cave houses, while the large openings in the façade offer stunning views of the natural landscape and the sea.
Materials and Landscape Design
The spatial decorations create a quiet and tranquil environment, offering visitors moments of relaxation. The material and color selections are based on the Greek natural palette, dominated by shades of soil and sand. The landscape design features plants and materials that complement the natural environment, thus avoiding any visual overload.
