Bioclimatic residence in Elaiones

A residence designed in dialogue with the landscape

Set on a 4,200 m² site, this 398 m² residence is shaped by bioclimatic design principles, natural ventilation and the use of durable traditional materials. The building’s orientation and the application of kourasanit contribute to a home that responds harmoniously to the surrounding landscape and the seasonal variations of the local climate.
