Chiou House’s design is rooted in linear modernism, strategically positioned in the hills of Voula, just south of Athens. Designed as a sculptural yet precisely engineered structure, this dual-occupancy complex demonstrates a refined approach to modern construction techniques, with its cantilevered floors creating a striking profile which appears to float above the landscape. Perched on its elevated site, the architecture’s fluid lines and meticulous engineering create a balanced integration with the hillside’s natural contours, maximizing the potential of the challenging terrain and establishing a smooth connection between the interior spaces and the expansive views of the coastline.

Constructed primarily in a bright white, the geometric forms create a dynamic contrast of light and shadow across the façade, echoing the natural hues of the environment—the rich green of tree-lined terraces and the endless blue of the sky. This bold exterior palette is softened within by a mix of natural materials and muted tones—glass, wood, and light grey—drawing sunlight and the shimmer of the sea into the interior spaces.
