Our aim was to design a building in a creative dialog between the traditional greek architecture, the natural slope of the plot and
the morphological elements of the Methoni Castle.
We have borrowed the element of continuous stone arches of the bridge of Methoni Castle to create two retaining walls that
shape the ground around the building. These walls are not only designed due to their appearance but also protect the indoors from
direct sun especially in the west side and support the southwest pergola.
The house is partly integrated in the ground to create the best possible relationship with the garden. At the same time the house
gets more protected from the north winds during the winter. Two levels were created to place the building naturally into the plot,
however this is not visible from the ground floor of the main house especially from the entrance.
