The Slot House is a residential project on Tinos island designed by Katerina Valsamaki Architects. It is strategically integrated into the hillside, featuring a linear incision that opens toward the Aegean Sea. The architectural design emphasizes minimal visual impact and environmental responsiveness, with the main structure supported by local materials. Carved internal courtyards enhance natural light and ventilation, while pergolas create shadow patterns that contribute to the overall clarity of the architecture. This design approach reflects a commitment to harmonizing with the natural landscape and fostering seasonal adaptability.
The Slot House on Tinos island is designed to integrate discreetly with the Cycladic landscape, utilizing partial excavation and a linear incision to enhance sea views.
A continuous canopy along the facade acts as a shading element while providing structural support through vertical walls made from local materials, emphasizing minimal surface impact.
Internally, light-filled courtyards offer natural light and ventilation, enhancing seasonal use while providing shelter from the northwestern winds, creating varied microclimates.
Pergolas overlaying the courtyards create patterned shadows, reinforcing the formal clarity of the architecture and connecting interior spaces with the external environment.
