Underground residence villa in Tria Langonia Syros island

The villa comprises an underground residence located in Tria Langonia, Syros, 50m away from the coastline. Influenced by the island’s traditional architecture, it blends into the natural landscape while stating a contemporary approach to a cave house concept. The building is characterised by large openings, a central ‘’funnel’’ for natural lighting and a large beam in the façade of the villa. Tesseract Engineers in collaboration with Ateno studio undertook the conceptual design and subsequently carried on with the structural detailed design as well as consultation/supervision during the construction phase.
