The Greek architecture practice K-Studio has recently completed Villa Mandra, a single-family home located on the hill of Aleomandra in Mykonos, Greece. Sitting on the ridge of the hill of Aleomandra in Mykonos yet almost entirely hidden from view, Villa Mandra looks straight out to sea and the sunset over the neighbouring island of Delos.

The project was designed as a futuristic HQ for LYX arkitekter. The building is a bold statement in the middle of nature. Its organic seamless shape has been sculptured and tuned carefully with the parametric pattern which in his turn is filling the gaps between the vanishing ornaments and form the building identity.

Viktoria Nyerges Architect: Imagine a place in the middle of nowhere, on the top of everything. I was wondering if I would see the stars from my bed and the mountains from my bath, I would never leave this place. In the course of designing my aim was to reach the sense of complete isolation and tranquility inside the observer.
