Villa Elena is a sea-front holiday home is located on the south shore of Paros, an area fringed with sandy beaches that remains blissfully calm even during peak season. A clean-lined retreat that celebrates materials in their natural form was dictated by the minimal-chic Cycladic aesthete and the austere geometry of modern architecture. Stone-built walls are left partially exposed to evoke the raw beauty of the landscape and to integrate the home into its surroundings. The main terrace has a decked swimming pool and a relaxing pergola-shaded lounge/dining area with views of the Aegean.
The interior is open, shiny, and devoid of unnecessary details. The walls are adorned with big windows that welcome both sunshine and views inside. Instead of using doors to divide the spaces, tall archways connect the main living room with the dining room and kitchen. The fabrics are natural, and the palette is monochromatic – the walls and upholstery are all white. The rooms are furnished with designer furniture and accented with a few carefully selected artworks. The bedrooms are simple, spacious, and fully open to the outside world. The property has a primary house and two separate guest houses for maximum privacy.
