Summer Cave House in Oia, Santorini

Kapsimalis Architects 

 

The summer house is located in the traditional village of Oia on the island of Santorini. It consists of a cave-house inside the volcanic earth and a small exterior house at the upper level.  A twisted exterior stairway connects the main pedestrian on the top with both levels ending up to the main yard with the infinity pool.

Inside the cave-house there are a sitting room with a small kitchen, two en suite bedrooms, a hammam and a sauna. The exterior yard of the cave-house has been designed as a platform looking the volcano-sea view. An infinity pool, a semi open vaulted space aside (used for dining and lounge exterior facilities) and small sitting corners are the parts of this platform.
