At the top of Vivlos region on Naxos Island, a world of landscape contrasts unfolds. A serene, Cycladic chapel sits at the plot’s rear, while the front offers breathtaking views of Plaka beach and town of Naxos. This project harmonizes these landscapes within two independent residences, seamlessly integrated with the land, providing panoramic views.
The plot’s natural inclination inspired engraved architectural forms, positioning both residences at the highest point to capture the stunning view. The design begins with two initial slabs, split and shifted to create the main building volumes, while a third slab creates a higher level. Horizontal and vertical walls separate the properties, provide privacy and support the landscape. Three of the four façades are embedded into the terrain, leaving the building almost invisible from the nearby road.
Inspired by the contrasts between the rocky landscape and expansive sea views, the residences bridge these natural elements. The design explores contrasts such as privacy and openness, inclusion and exposure, nature and human intervention, creating a unique spatial experience filled with surprise and mystery. Each pathway offers a new discovery, lending the building a cinematic character. Main entrances are located at the back, where planted slabs emerge from the ground, leaving visitors unaware of what lies ahead. This transition from covert entry to the sunlit yards, mirrors the island’s natural contrasts.
Natural materials and earthy tones allow the residences to blend with their surroundings. Existing vegetation is carefully preserved to enhance the connection to the land. Large openings and an atrium, allow natural ventilation, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor connection.
Reflecting the island’s connection to water, elongated pools enhance the experiential quality.
This project merges modern luxury with Naxos’s natural heritage, respects the landscape’s natural form while framing the beauty of the coast, blending architecture with the timeless allure of the island.
