House in Mani, Greece by Aiolou Architects

Unique greek traditional design in this house located in Mani, Greece designed by Aiolou Architects.

House in Doli – Mani, Greece. This was a newly renovated property and the commission was therefore only for the landscaping of the garden area and the design of a guest annexe bedroom with an en-suite shower room.

The garden is orientated to the south with stunning views and therefore the design integrated both a covered veranda and a freestanding pavilion with a bamboo roof to provide shade and prolonged access to the views for outdoor summer life.

The materials and construction are traditional to the area with 50cm thick stone walls, timber windows and ceramic roof tiles. Materials were often purchased from derelict buildings and integrated into the house to create the desired aesthetic.
