Named “Panoptis (The Watcher)” this residence is perched high in the mountains, offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of the sea and the settlement of Agia Galini in southern Crete.
The architectural statement of the home is modern in character, with the master bedroom occupying a prominent concrete volume, symbolizing resilience and permanence. This deliberate architectural gesture ensures that the master bedroom enjoys utmost serenity and the most unimpeded views, while creating a unique dynamic in the building’s silhouette.
Every space is designed to incorporate the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape with the minimalist yet warm aesthetic of the dwelling. The choice of materials such as wood and cultured stone manages to marry traditional construction with a contemporary sensibility, and the pool that stretches along the structure adds a sense of luxury and tranquility.
“Panoptis (The Watcher)” is not just an architectural work, but a living experience where every moment is a peaceful acknowledgment of the vast blue and the wild Cretan nature.
