Enalia House is a contemporary response to the traditional architecture of Cyclades. Designed to make the most of a compact, sloping site, the project arranges a sequence of private and public spaces, integrated into the hillside. While primarily conceived as a family residence, the purposeful layout accommodates independent guest units alongside the main house, creating moments of spatial intimacy and expansive openness.

Locally sourced stone, rendered in vivid white in select areas, sets the visual and structural rhythm throughout the design. The thick walls, characteristic of the island, provide protection against winter’s strong winds and naturally cool the interiors during the hot summer months. From the street, a discreet entrance opens onto a private courtyard, establishing the architectural language that guides the flow of movement within. An arcade from the courtyard divides the plan, leading between the distinct living spaces, with solid interior volumes providing an immersive connection to the landscape.
