The project
SS.MM Design designed this 350 square metre house in a seaside suburb outside Athens as two distinct volumes. A pale upper body holds the living and kitchen areas and appears to float above a stone base containing the private rooms, which anchors the house to the rocky ground.
Large glazed walls open the double-height living space to views of the sea and islands, and a pool terrace with a shaded pergola extends the house outdoors. It was completed in 2015.
