This reconstruction and renovation residence in Mykonos is truly custom designed. The intense environment of the island made it a clear choice to calm down the somewhat loud exterior to create uniformity. As the original design lacked some comfortable resting spots, effort was put in providing those with the ability to choose depending on weather, time of the day and the mood. The guesthouse by the sea was renovated and extended with a private pool and a breakfast area, designed to give the guests the ability to enjoy the beautiful island mornings in privacy. However, the Greek habit of gathering around a grand meal was fortified as a large barbecue area was installed as well as a spacious dining area inside the main house.
Block722 architects is an Athens based architectural practice, founded in 2009 by Sotiris Tsergas and Katja Margaritoglou. Block722 is active in the architectural, as well as in the interior design and construction fields through Block722+, managing a wide variety of projects, from initial planning until its final completion. The office’s individual and collective experience ensures the collaboration with competent and specialized suppliers and craftsmen, in order to meticulously realize the architectural concept. The use of clean lines and the creation of quality architecture space are design rules that define each project, regardless of its scale. An important factor of the design and construction phase is the selection of excellent quality materials, thus enhancing a unique result. The desired architectural result is achieved by integrating the interior design into the conceptual phase and by considering the project as a whole.
