Both residences are situated in the island of Syros. The main intention of Syros I was to unify the various spaces of the house under one roof facing the Aegean, whereas the approach at Syros II was to create multiple volumes clustered together. In both cases, the entrance is situated in the back, following a gentle descent through continuous miniature courtyards, planted with local aromatic herbs. The landscape and sea are gradually revealed. In both cases, the common areas are the main core of the house, antagonized by the outdoor areas, a relationship vivid in all examples of traditional island architecture.
