Surrounded by rugged open land and calm blue sea, this Summer House in Syros, Greece, brings the perfect mix of ancient feel with modern luxury. Offering views of the idyllic Plagia bay and the Aegean sea, the house seems to transport you to another era, a simpler one. Set as a deconstructed rectangle with massive openings from all sides, the residence allows its visitors to connect with the unspoiled surrounding nature and relax – either sunbathing or in the shade – in any of the two vast, open courtyards. The building is buried deep within the steep terrain to help maintain a cool temperature inside, and features stone walls – typical of the local architecture – while the interior is adorned with simple, rustic furniture, in a classic Mediterranean style. Savour the feeling of living in stone houses while partaking of the luxuries that perhaps only Greek Gods could have offered.
