Take a closer look at the simple yet homely interior of this Cretan mountain house 🌿
This ‘simple, distinguished and very proud’ house in the Cretan mountains is a Greek holiday home rooted in its context and designed by the Athens based architecture studio of Natalia KokosalakiPhotography: George Messaritakis
Sat at the foot of the Lefka Ori Mountains, among idyllic olive groves, vineyards and herb bushes, the site had a lot to offer. Part of the clients’ brief was for the design to respect this Cretan environment and ‘stand the test of time’, explains the architect. Kokosalaki responded with flair, composing a complex that feels modern, but is also rooted to the local vernacular and the island’s tradition.
A large arched entrance leads to an enclosed courtyard, in turn guiding the visitor to the generous, open plan living areas on the ground level – or a guest suite off the main house. Upstairs are a further four bedrooms.
