Kapsimalis Architects designed this beautiful house in Sikinos Island in Greece, while overlooking the Aegen sea and Sikinos’s wild and dry landscape. The building was an old traditional residence. After a detailed study of the old building and its morphological elements, the architectural intervention aimed at the absolute preservation of its original form and interior space without any alteration of its identity. Concerning the materials that are used, the floor was reconstructed with smooth cement plaster in an earthy brown color, the walls are coated with a white film/color that showcases the passage of time and the ceiling made by wooden beams and stones came up to the ‘surface’. The furnishing of the house is a combination of old antiques, handmade furniture, and modern pieces. The purpose of the design was to create a natural island way of life, with a sense of oldness and traditional style.
