Come with us on a tour of a single-family home built into the hillside of Greece, designed by Workshop Dionisis+Kirki, built with the landscape at the forefront.

The top floor of the house–the extroverted portion–has an artistic presence at nightfall with a wall of stained glass windows.

The top floor’s rooms, including the living room shown here, feature full-height glass walls to maximize views of the landscape.

A staircase leads from the top floor of the house to a planted terrace, from which a bridge connects to the swimming pool, half-suspended over the hillside.

The kitchen, dining, and living spaces are on the top floor of the house; full-height glass walls bring the outdoors in.

The ground floor is not completely isolated; partial glass flooring allows for some shared interaction and light between the two.

With its concrete door tightly shut, a washroom on the ground floor is completely closed off from the outdoors. When the door is opened, light and fresh air fill the space.

The entrance from the street is dramatic: a staircase suspended between two high concrete walls leads to the ground level of the house.
