COMPLETION 2015
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.![MAIN ENTRANCE](https://cdn.myportfolio.com/be04b8defa7a5ea7c4f592fcbc61fdf0/f773832d4fe8a9a6852b753f_rw_600.jpg?h=72c80cf806ef212a8537cb2167346d26)
