The design results from experiments with traditional Mykonian forms, incorporating arches and subterranean dwellings. The villas, situated on a steep hill overlooking the bay and the Aegean Sea, are oriented to face the bay, with their geometric shapes framing the sea view. Private and common spaces are connected by paths and terraces.
The private areas are all located in the subterranean part of the villa, while the public areas are positioned at the front. The organic geometry, which develops outwards from the subterranean part of the villa, provides shade to the balconies and the swimming pool in front of the common areas. Large openings allow natural light to flood the bedrooms and private areas.
