Project overview

The experience of the descent itself, as well as its spatial expression, was the central focus of the design approach for this residential complex. The steep slope of the site allowed the residences to either embed into the terrain or to ascend above it and eventually dive into the earth to meet the sunset at the end of its unraveling view.

Project history

The project started in 2022 with the client’s vision to build a brand-new structure, partly underground and above ground, bringing fresh character and a sense of calm to Mykonos. It progressed through three stages: preliminary design, final design, permitting, and detailed construction drawings. From the start, the client aimed to maximize space without compromising quality. Although still under construction, the project is set to enrich the island’s architecture and offer a serene, thoughtful environment for visitors and locals alike.
