“Orosimo” embodies an everlasting take on Mediterranean design for the creation of a summer villa, featuring a guest house that can be either independent or unified with the main living space. Located in Serifos island, our project aims for a minimalistic design approach that integrates the villa in its landscape. Orosimo in Greek stands for landmark, with this in mind, we created a contemporary design that looks forward into the future while exuding an aura of the past, offering a tribute to the island’s mining days, through its form and locally sourced materials (e.g. rammed earth, stone).
