Santorini's stunning beaches still have plenty to offer, characterized by unique landscapes rather than traditional silky blonde sand. Accessing them often requires climbing or navigating rocky terrain.

A new summerhouse by Biris-Tsiraki Architects rises above a rocky cape on Antiparos, facing the open Aegean and the island of Despotiko across the water. Set into a steep slope and exposed to northern winds, the house addresses sea, sky, and terrain with a measured architectural language shaped by orientation and movement. From the approach, the building reads as a composition aligned to horizon and topography.

The Outdoor House embodies the concept of simple living along the Aegean Sea, promoting a harmonious interaction with the Mediterranean climate. It utilizes a large pergola as its main architectural element, designed to maximize comfort and enjoyment during the warm summer months.
