A Modern Retreat Above Korthi Bay

A whitewashed summer house on Andros, shaped by stone, light, sea views, and slow island living.

Set into the rugged landscape of Andros, the house pairs crisp white geometry with local stone, concrete, wood, and expansive views of the Aegean.

Architecture

Where Stone Meets Light

The house emerges from the hillside as a natural extension of its surroundings. Each material—rough-hewn stone, poured concrete, whitewashed plaster—has been chosen for its honesty and its ability to age gracefully under the Mediterranean sun.

  • Modern cubic forms rooted in Greek island simplicity
  • Local stone walls that anchor the house to its landscape
  • Exposed concrete ceilings with raw, honest materiality
  • Indoor-outdoor living that blurs the boundary with nature
  • Framed views that make the Aegean part of every room
Interiors

Calm Within

Inside, the house unfolds as a series of quiet, light-filled rooms. Built-in daybeds invite afternoon rest. Stone floors stay cool underfoot. Wide windows frame the changing sea.

Every surface has been considered—soft neutral cushions against rough stone, natural wood accents warming the concrete, linen curtains filtering the Mediterranean light. The result is a space that feels both refined and deeply restful.

Outdoor Living

Life Between Sky and Sea

Shaded terraces extend the living space outward. Here, mornings begin with coffee and the slow climb of the sun. Afternoons drift by with a book, the breeze, the distant sound of waves.

As evening falls, the terrace becomes a place for gathering—simple meals, good wine, conversation that stretches into the purple hours of dusk.

Location

Andros, Quietly Wild

The northernmost of the Cyclades, Andros remains refreshingly untouched. Its landscape is dramatic—rugged mountains plunging to hidden coves, ancient stone walls crossing green valleys, springs and waterfalls in unexpected places.

Korthi Bay, where the house sits, is a quiet corner of an already quiet island. The village below holds a handful of tavernas, a small harbor, and the unhurried pace of authentic Greek island life.
