Villa Thymari / Nafplio area
Villa Thymari / Xiropigado, Nafplio area
Following on from a series of completed projects in the area, we have designed a new 3 villa complex on a prime land plot with direct beach access and unobstructed sea views.
Villa Thymari is placed on the upper part of the plot enjoying privacy, unobstructed sea views and extended external spaces. A pedestrian path through the estate gives access to a secluded beach.
The villa offers 168sq.m. of living spaces on two main levels plus an upper level. It offers an open plan living area, 3 bedrooms, an additional room, 2 bathrooms, wc and storage. It also has private access and a private parking area for 2-3 cars.
The entrance is on the main ground level, where all the “public” areas and uses are placed. A open plan living and kitchen space gives access to the external sitting area and the pool area on the one side, and the external dining and BBQ area on the other side.
The boundary between internal and external spaces is vague, due to the big glass openings, creating an extended living “place” to enjoy the unique Mediterranean lifestyle. Pergolas and solid elements create a series of covered or shaded spaces ideal for the mild climate of the area.
The lower ground level features an en-suite master bedroom and guest bedroom, sharing an external veranda and garden, a 3-sleeper bunk bed room and a storage – machinery room. An extra living space with a sofa-bed is located at the upper level.
Villa Thymari is distinctly separated from Villas Levanda and Rosemary, set on the lower level of the plot -all three come with their own pool and are completely independent.
Villa Levanda / Nafplio area
Villa Levanda / Xiropigado, Nafplio area
Following on from a series of completed projects in the area, we have designed a new 3-villa complex on a prime land plot with direct beach access and unobstructed sea views.
Villa Levanda is placed on the low part of the plot and enjoys privacy, unobstructed sea views and extended external spaces. A pedestrian path through the estate gives access to a secluded beach.
With a calming sense of space and light, due to the big glass openings that dissolve the boundaries between internal and external spaces, the villa turns into an extended living “place” perfect for gatherings. Pergolas and solid elements create a series of covered or shaded areas inviting you to relax and connect whilst enjoying the Mediterranean lifestyle.
The villa offers 252sq.m. of living spaces in total, distributed over two ground levels plus two upper level en-suite bedrooms (master and double).
The entrance is centrally placed on the main ground level, where all the “public” areas and uses are placed -an open-plan double height living & dining space, a kitchen space, the staircases, a wc and an en-suite guest room. From all the internal spaces one has access to the external seating area and the pool area.
The lower ground level features a playroom, an en-suite double bedroom, a 4-sleeper bunk bedroom, a wc with shower and storage.
The villa is an ideal property to enjoy privacy, unobstructed sea views, direct beach access, modern design and exceptional construction quality.

Villa design / Nafplio area
Villa design / Xiropigado, Nafplio area
Investment property near Nafplio with incredible views out to sea.
The villa was designed under the request of a British couple that will use the house as their primary residence. The request was for a spacious house to enjoy the views and the landscape.
The plot is on the hill side on the main road from Nafplio city to Astros town. Our design approach was to create a house surrounded by a series of external spaces with different qualities (covered / shaded / open air) to enjoy the mild climate of the area and Mediterranean lifestyle. All spaces enjoy unobstructed views, having vast glass openings towards the sea, while all have access to external verandas.
The shape of the building forms an “internal” courtyard protected from the traffic noise and shaded by a pergola. The courtyard continues to the BBQ and pool areas.
The main ground level houses all internal and external “public” spaces including the courtyard, the pool area, the villa entrance, a guest room, and a WC. The upper floor houses the “private” spaces, i.e. the master bedroom en-suite & walking in dressing room, an office, an extra bathroom and a private roof top veranda.
The building also offers a spacious garage and storage spaces.

Villa Temenos, Lefkada island
Villa Temenos, Lefkada island
The house itself tries to bridge the gap between the more traditional volumes found in the Ionian and a modern open aesthetic that takes advantage of the Mediterranean light.
The house looks out to the small archipelago of scattered islands that includes Lefkada, Meganisi, Thylia, Scorpios, Valaoritis, and Sparti, all suspended between the multitude of blues of the Ionian Sea and the mountains of the mainland to Karpenisi as a backdrop.
To maximise the impact that a visitor to the villa will have with respect to the idyllic surroundings we chose to create large, unified openings with Vitrocsa’s Invisible frame windows. The result is truly gratifying as one does not notice the windows at all and is immediately drawn to the views.
The house sits on two levels and is formed by two double story white volumes bridged by a black render and glass atrium. This volume acts as the vertical circulation core that spreads out in both directions on both levels, joining the corridors to the five bedrooms and the living areas.
A spatial frame was created to pitch on the slabs of the cantilevered verandas, embracing the facade of the house that faces out to sea. We took the idea of framing the views literally. Energy consumption was a concern and so the house was built using the best thermal facade materials.
Villa design / Antiparos island
Villa design / Antiparos island
The design is for a luxury 550sq.m. villa in Agia Kyriaki area on Antiparos Island, Cyclades. The plot is a rare 6.000m² land, very close to the sea, on the hill side of the main road from Antiparos Chora to Soros. The building is placed off center and on an angle to the main road, to “avoid” the neighboring building towards the sea, while facing the sea views and opening to the south sun.
The concept is to carefully place a series of buildings and structures, a constellation, in order to create a unique “place” to enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle. Single storey volumes including the main house, a separate guest house, a garage, and an external BBQ area, are strategically placed to form and ‘protect” the main external courtyard.
The design offers 4 en-suite bedrooms at the main house, internal and external living and dining areas, internal and external kitchen, a playroom, a garage, storage, and a guest house with two en-suite bedrooms. All main spaces are situated on the ground floor enjoying unobstructed sea views, while one bedroom, a staff room and the playroom are on the lower level that is naturally lit by an atrium.
An access road runs through the back of the plot, leading to the open parking area and villa entrance courtyard. The entrance lobby is placed at the center of the house giving direct access to an internal / external corridor that leads to all different spaces.
