Hidden among the narrow cosmopolitan alleys of Mykonos ‘Chora’, in St. Spyridon area, a dilapidated house, originally built in 1987, has been fully renovated into a high end tourist accommodation. The two-storey Cycladic house, of which only the external walls and internal staircase were kept in the final design, was transformed into two autonomous studios of 40 m2 each, able to accommodate 4 guests in the ground floor and 3 guests in the first floor studio. During the design phase, special attention was paid to sustain the simple timeless elegance of the main Cycladic architectural elements, with the aim to unify the space, given the relatively small surface. Thus, avoiding setting confines between the living room and the bedroom, arches were used to discern these two zones. The creation of a unified space allowed the glorious Cycladic daylight to flow unimpededly into the main living areas, reflecting on the white surfaces of the walls and enhancing the purity and elegance of the interior. Steel and wooden furniture, interesting patterns, and industrial lighting, constitute a contemporary, worth visiting summer house.
