House in Lygaries Beach, Skiathos

Beach House is a summer residence that sits in an olive grove on the west coast of Skiathos island. Oriented towards the view of the sea and placed on the east edge of the site, the residence and outdoor spaces of the intervention are confined conceptually in a 20 x 20 square and extended upwards to occupy two levels.

The form plays with the geometry of a white cube. By extracting parts of the volume, the external spaces are revealed creating the square outdoor area situated just above the height of the foliage of the trees.
