PROJECT : COTTAGE RESTORATION

LOCATION : PAXOS ISLAND, GREECE

YEAR : 2025

STATUS : PERMIT

The “ENIGMA PROJECT” offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich dialogue between old architecture and contemporary design.

Central to our vision is a commitment to restoration, utilizing traditional materials and sustainable practices to honor the building’s heritage. Settled within the lush landscape of Paxos Island, Greece, the “ENIGMA PROJECT” seeks to revitalize an old remnant house, preserving its heritage while infusing it with contemporary design elements.

A new concrete floor above the original house introduces modern aesthetics, characterized by clean lines and expansive windows. These design choices enhance the living experience while inviting natural light and views of the surrounding landscape into the space. The interplay between the rough texture of the original stone and the smooth, modern texture of concrete creates a contrasting, yet harmonious dialogue between old and new elements.

Complementing the main building, a simple guest house and a connecting pergola foster a seamless outdoor space with a pool that creates intimacy with the natural environment. Ultimately, the “ENIGMA PROJECT” exemplifies a thoughtful integration of history and modernity, creating a unique living environment that respects the past while embracing contemporary ideals.
