A holiday house on the ridge of a hill, for a young, dynamic couple to enjoy with family and friends, it celebrates spectacular views from a grounded viewpoint into a sensitive landscape. Inspired by the humble complexity of the traditional island vernacular, we reduced the architecture to two small whitewashed volumes and a third of stone dug from the site, built around a ‘courtyard’ living area covered by an expansive but lightweight pergola. This becomes the core of the house, seamlessly connected to the enclosed volumes. Beneath are the bedrooms, quietly enjoying uninterrupted sea views.
