the efficient use of the available building rights. Therefore, it is proposed to build two cave villas that almost perfectly follow the natural contours, with their main aspect oriented toward the unique view of the Aegean Sea. Each cave villa consists of master bedrooms, a kitchen and a daily area, while both have a swimming pool and structured surrounding areas for the use of outdoor activities.

The original architectural concept emphasized creating a building and surrounding space that form a cohesive whole. The choice of recessed building volumes, combined with the alignment of their surrounding configurations along the steep contours, results in a seamless integration with the natural landscape, while offering unobstructed views of the beach and the sea. Additionally, the arrangement of the surrounding elements ensures protection from the strong and frequent north/northwest winds.

The goal was to design a modern building with clear references to the traditional architecture of the Cycladic country houses, particularly those found in Mykonos. The solid building volumes are coated with local stone on the exterior. The surrounding areas are covered with layers of light gray and off-white cement mortar, colors that reflect the natural landscape of rocky terrain, soil, and low Mediterranean vegetation. All visible retaining and partition walls are constructed of reinforced concrete with local stone cladding, resembling the local drystones. In addition, wooden canopies are placed for shading in contact with the facades, in the color of natural olive wood similar to that of the trunks of local olive trees. Finally, in the surrounding area and along the contours of the hollow structures, it is recommended to plant densely with prickly pears, arid local plants, and shrubs. Additionally, olive trees should be transplanted and supplemented with new plantings of the same local variety.
