KATOIKIA
In the Cycladic vernacular, a katoikia is a small house one keeps in the countryside,
Borrowing the typology and small scale of these local country homes, OLIAROS’s Katoikia residence is tucked away in a quiet glen, surrounded by mature trees and unspoiled wilderness. A single whitewashed volume appears to be floating amongst the trees, cantilevered over a terrace and pool area.
The building’s unusual northern orientation allows for distant sea views and a sense of openness towards the landscape; this also means that the sun hits the interiors less harshly, keeping the temperature cooler during summer months. For the days when it’s windy, sheltered dining and lounging terraces have been carved out of the monolithic white volume, in such a way that each bedroom and the living room have their own well-protected and private outdoor space.
