The Issa Megaron project is dealing with questions regarding the context of the site boundary, envisioned on the plot that is read as a void, blank space-with deception that context is non-existent. Given that the "genius loci" is not only the plot an island of Vis but actually Mediterranean, we conceive the house by the system of the Socrates Megaron (as the first passive house), reinterpreting the ancient traditional stone drywalls and creating a new rural man-made topography . The assignment was to design a house for a temporary family retreat on a site without infrastructure, at the same time completely satisfying the needs of the user.
