Etheres housing complex consists of natural stone, clean architectural volumes, mediterranean vegetation, clear blue sky, sea and mountain views, generous outdoor shaded and sunny spaces and water elements.
The housing complex consists of ten houses, in two different size types, placed in a unique location next to the traditional village of Nikiti.
The main architectural gesture is a natural stone wall, which forms a folding surface and embraces the living spaces. This folding surface encloses ten private housing units and offers a precious privacy. Each one of the houses has a shaded terrace, a private pool and access to a private garden, designed as part of the greater garden area. The natural environment plays a significant role in this housing complex, as all openings, windows offer segments or frames of the natural environment as part of the experience.
Etheres housing complex is using sustainable energy sources for hot water, reuses rainwater for watering needs in the garden and reuses wastewater after being processed in a biological wastewater treatment, 100% based on plantation.
