In a plot with significant slope and south orientation, overlooking Delos and Rineia islands, we decided to create a new, partly subterranean residence on two floors. The above-ground part of the residence amounts to 120m2, while the subterranean part is approximately 130m2. The aim was to weave both the hardscape and softscape of the building into the natural Mykonian landscape. As a result, the entity that was created is not visible from the street. The Latypi project converses with the archetypical architectural legacy as well as the Cycladic terrain, situating itself as a contemporary intervention within the landscape.
