Summer Houses in Skiathos Island
Summer Houses in Skiathos Island
- Situation
- Results
The internal courtyards and covered patios created by the intermediate openings, an integral part of Greek culture, are passages for the cool wind, important during the summer season. The different levels between the volumes contribute to the interlinking between the interior and the exterior, creating a continuity both functional and visual while extending each residence beyond its boundaries. The stone element predominates, making its appearance already from the north, where the main entrance is located, and following a direction similar to that of the slope. The wood and light metal structures add details that emphasize the sense of nature and highlight the contrast with the solid stone volumes. The placement of the large glass openings and minimal aluminium systems facing the sea conceals the intense search for integration with the external environment.
