A Glorious Contemporary Greek House

This clear and simple design has a big architecture feature I found lovely:

This glass-sided entrance ramp pierces the house itself, where it continues right along into the interior by becoming the glass-side to the mezzanine and the stair down to the living room.

The architecture is by Greek firm Nikos Koukourakis.

The living room looks out over a glorious pool bounded by the simplest of boundary walls, seemingly extending the edge of the living space.

Two deep and bulky terraces of stucco create big blocky shapes on its front.

At the furthest end of the ground floor from the pool, a super long dining table extends right off the kitchen work area at its end.

The entrance ramp leads down this barely there stair: nothing more than blocks of wood extending out from the wall.

A sculptural art piece on the wall is all you can hang onto as you descend the stairs, as if arriving is an act of art.

Altogether a house with a seductive and quiet glamour.
