Villa Ornos 

 Mykonos

MK Design Studio have designed new guest quarters for a private property near the village of Ornos, Mykonos. Built in massive stone that echoes the ancient drystone walls characteristic of the island, and set high into the hillside, the addition looks as if it had grown out of the landscape.

The rooms are arranged in a row, enfilade and with interconnected doors, along the long side of the building and all open onto a long terrace bounded by a low stone wall, overlooking the sea.

The interiors are minimalist, with the softly rounded corners and doorways typical of the local architecture. They are rendered in white Venetian-style lime plaster, giving the walls a subtly modulated, almost luminescent quality. The spacious guest suites are all slightly different, and all furnished with elegant simplicity.
