PETRA ( stone in Greek) The residence is purely made of stones extracted from the excavation. The design drew inspiration from the dry-stone walls and geological formations of the area, seamlessly blending into the landscape like a stone structure that harmonizes with its surroundings. The site is marked by clusters of rocks and preeminent geological formations; its name, "Kakapetra," etymologically translates to "rugged stone".The rocky terrain hindered agricultural cultivation, leading these regions to be primarily utilized for animal herding, allowing livestock to be contained and roam away from cultivable lands.
