A place where time seems to stand still, where mythology gods stop by to enjoy an Aperol spritz by the infinity pool, this Summer House in Syros, Greece, maximizes views of the idyllic Plagia bay and the Aegean sea.
Set as a deconstructed rectangle with massive openings from all sides, the residence allows its visitors to connect with the unspoiled surrounding nature and relax – either sunbathing or in the shade – in any of the two vast, open courtyards.
The building is buried inside the steep terrain to help maintain a cool temperature inside and features stone walls – typical of the local architecture – while the interior is adorned with simple, rustic furniture, in a classic Mediterranean style. [via]
