Located on santorini Island,on Prophet Ilias mountainside,Designed by Kapsimalis Architects.The elongated, rectangular form is nestled into the slope. The excavation material that has resulted during the construction period, was used to shape the main facade of the house and its surrounding landscape. The house is integrated to the cliff-side, leaving the least possible imprint.
Kapsimalis Architects is an architectural office based in Santorini Greece.Founded in 2012 by architects Alexandros Kapsimalis and Marianna Kapsimali.Wishes and hidden desires of the future users are mixed with project's background in search of a new perception of the space.
Apart from the forms and how could be developed on each place, equally compelling is how the use of each building contribute to the environment itself. They seek for the values and the customs , the old aesthetics and the pre-existing memories of each place in order to show them up in a modern twist.
