Located on the west coast of the pristine Cycladic island of Milos, this spectacular property enjoys sunset views and access to three of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. The Rock creates a folded plane of planted earth to conceal the building mass while simultaneously opening its facade to reveal the views and create exterior spaces. From above, the roof is punctured to create atriums and skylights that bring in light and air through carefully sculpted spaces. The flows within the house lead to moments tied to the landscape such as the stair that leads to the ‘diamond stone', an impressive geological landmark. The outcome is a flowing intervention that provides a diversity of experiences while respecting and enhancing the natural qualities of the place. Gracing 200,000 m² of lush grounds, "The Rock" is an estate with a permit to build 580 m² with 6 bedrooms and a swimming pool.
