Set into the hillside above Poros in southern Lefkada, this contemporary residence is positioned to follow the natural contours of the landscape, facing south towards uninterrupted views across the Ionian Sea and the islands beyond. Composed as a series of interconnected volumes stepping gently with the terrain, the architecture combines clean lines and natural materials, creating a strong sense of connection between the house and its surroundings.
The 190 sqm (2,045 sq.ft.) residence is arranged across multiple levels, carefully positioned to maximise privacy, natural light and the panoramic outlook from its elevated setting. Stone, timber and pale rendered surfaces establish a restrained architectural language that sits comfortably within the landscape, while the orientation ensures that the sea remains a constant presence throughout the property.
The principal living spaces are organised around openness, flow and the relationship with the view. Full-height glazing extends across the seaward elevations, allowing interior spaces to open directly onto the terraces and creating a seamless transition between inside and outside during the warmer months. The architecture emphasises simplicity and proportion, with natural materials and soft tones reflecting the colours of the surrounding hillsides and coastline.
Outdoor living areas unfold across a series of terraces positioned at different levels of the property. At the centre of the composition, a 17-metre infinity pool extends towards the horizon, reinforcing the visual connection between the residence and the sea beyond. Covered and open-air terraces provide sheltered and sunlit areas throughout the day, while the elevated position captures changing light conditions across the coastline from morning through to evening.
The bedroom accommodation continues the same architectural approach, balancing privacy with openness towards the landscape. The principal suite occupies a more elevated position within the residence, benefiting from wide views across Poros Bay and a greater sense of separation from the communal areas. Additional guest suites maintain the same calm material palette and strong visual connection to the surrounding scenery, with large openings framing the sea, the hillsides and the changing light beyond.
A carefully considered arrival sequence contributes to the sense of privacy throughout the property. The approach follows the natural topography of the site, while the arrangement of the different levels allows movement between the residence, terraces and outdoor spaces to feel intuitive and uninterrupted. The stepped configuration responds directly to the landscape, ensuring that each part of the property maintains its own outlook while remaining connected to the overall composition.
Located close to the village of Poros and within easy reach of the beaches and coastline of southern Lefkada, the residence combines contemporary Mediterranean architecture with a thoughtful response to its natural setting. As the light softens across the Ionian in the late afternoon, the sea and distant islands become the defining elements of the view, extending uninterrupted beyond the hillside below.
