The project deals with the design of a summer house in an olive groove. Main concern was to recycle the obtained ground materials and respect the trees, in order to have the less impact to the nature, while focusing totally to the view of the Methoni castle. The main concept of the design was the evolution of the dwelling of the human beings and so, the ground gets shape into a basement, the stone gives form to the ground floor and the plaster stands delicately above them, shaping the second level.
