A Bare Concrete House in Greece With A Lap Pool That Extends Towards The Horizon
A lot of contemporary homes are designed to blend in with their natural surroundings and that’s usually quite easy to do when they’re framed by forests or lush vegetation. In the case of this house from Tinos, Greece, things were a little different and more challenging. That was because the terrain is quite rocky and barren.
The house has a fairly dynamic geometry, with several extension coming out on two adjacent sides
The team at Aristides Dallas Architects were however quite inspired by this topography and they came up with a really interesting design concept. They designed the house as a sort of man-made cave, a structure which sis partially enveloped by the ground and blends in with the ground without being subterranean.
