In the quiet area of Potamia, on the island of Thassos, where the mountainous landscape meets the presence of the sea, — two sibling residential complexes were designed: Helios and Selene. Two architectural compositions that engage in a subtle dialogue through light and shadow, day and night, water and land.
The absence of direct sea views was not treated as a limitation, but as a starting point for the design. The project deliberately turns inward, seeking its own landscape—an internal environment organised around the element of water, where the swimming pool acts as a core of life, calmness and social interaction. Around it, the residential volumes are arranged in a gesture that emphasises the element that connects them.
In Helios, six maisonettes, together with a reception area and bar, are organised around the central pool, forming a shared space of light, gathering and relaxation. In Selene, five maisonettes repeat the same compositional principle with a more restrained symmetry, allowing space for silence and for the nocturnal reflection of water.
The building volumes are shaped through variations in roof orientation and slope, forming a rhythmic skyline that follows the topography and the natural inclinations of the landscape. Green roofs soften the boundary between architecture and nature, allowing the buildings to settle gently into their surroundings.
A linear ground-floor volume connects the maisonettes, functioning both as a shaded promenade and as a base for the upper-level terraces. The composition is completed by wooden pergolas that filter the light and introduce a sense of temporality through their changing shadows.
Each residence maintains its autonomy, with a private courtyard and either a private pool or direct access to the central one. The chromatic differentiation between the two complexes reinforces their symbolic contrast—the warm Helios and the cool Selene, two expressions of the same island harmony.
