NCaved, which was completed in 2021 and shortlisted for a Dezeen Award in the same year, is a wedge-shaped house embedded into a rocky hillside on the Greek island of Serifos.
The building, which slopes backwards from a sea cliff located just metres away from the building's lowest point, looks out onto the Mediterranean Sea. The villa is located in Serifos, Greece | Photo by Yiogris Yerolymbos
To protect the house and its residents from the island's strong northerly winds, the architects chose to excavate the site and embed the house in the landscape. This also helped to maximise the sea views.
Responding to the slope of the landscape, the architects split the house across three levels that step gently towards the sea. The bedrooms are located at the top of the building while the living areas, guest apartment and swimming pool occupy its lower two tiers.
