This project concerns the design of three holiday homes within walking distance of the beach “Achladies” of Skiathos. The steep slope of the plot and the orientation towards the sea dictated a parallel, stepped arrangement of the buildings in order to ensure the sea view from all levels.
The elongated position of the monolithic volumes creates a linear circulation on the north side against the background of the stone wall. This stone wall, in addition to retaining support, creates recesses, skylights and encaved spaces; it runs through the two houses and leads to protected terraces along which two swimming pools are located.
The proportions of the openings and the division of volumes and levels in combination with the material palette (stone, wood and reeds) form a construction that over time will be integrated into the environment while at the same time will highlight and frame the view from every point and level.
