[carved into] 🛠️🗿
 

This tiny home project explores how contemporary architecture can remain silent and powerful at the same time. Gently placed on the hillside above Faros, Sifnos, the house follows the natural terrain and existing stone formations, becoming part of the Cycladic landscape rather than an object imposed on it. The intention was not to dominate the site, but to allow the building to settle naturally into its context, responding to scale, climate, and topography.
 

The geometry is deliberately simple and compact, yet carefully calibrated to frame unique views towards Chrysopigi Church, one of the most important landmarks and monuments of Sifnos. From both interior spaces and outdoor terraces, the relationship between the house, the sea, and the iconic church becomes a constant point of reference, grounding the project in its cultural and geographical setting.
 

The architectural design was led by Flora Koraki, with Thodoris Tousas and his practice responsible for the design overview and permitting. The collaboration focused on material honesty, spatial clarity, and a sensitive response to the Cycladic landscape.
 

Overall development and execution of the project (project management) were undertaken by Space Dreams, ensuring that architecture, construction, and site conditions worked together as a unified system.
 

White volumes, stone paths, and raw textures form a quiet dialogue between architecture and nature. Openings are positioned to capture light, wind, and horizon, creating protected living spaces that adapt to the strong island climate throughout the year.

The result is a residence defined by restraint, authenticity, and a deep connection to place - a reminder that true luxury in the Cyclades is space, light, silence, and belonging.
