A 3.5-storey intermediate terrace house with an attic, required to accommodate a large family and the client's preference for the aesthetics and experiences of their holiday in Santorini, Greece. Response to local tropical context, privacy, access to light & ventilation into the central spaces coupled with integration of landscape and their artwork collection were addressed as part of an integrated solution within a tight site.
