Set within an existing olive landscape near Preveza, this project explores an alternative to the isolated holiday home: a small cluster of dwellings shaped by shared ground, climate, and everyday coexistence.

Rather than treating each house as a standalone object, the scheme is conceived as a collective settlement. Five modest homes are arranged around a continuous landscape of paths, terraces, olive trees, and outdoor rooms, encouraging informal encounters while maintaining privacy. The shared terrain becomes the project’s primary social and spatial structure.

Architecture is deliberately restrained. Thick masonry bases, shaded pergolas, and compact volumes respond to the Mediterranean climate through passive means: orientation, cross-ventilation, thermal mass, and deep shade. Outdoor spaces are treated as extensions of domestic life rather than amenities, supporting seasonal living and long stays by families.

The project draws on local building practices and materials, balancing permanence with lightness. Pools, terraces, and courtyards are integrated as climate devices rather than symbols of luxury.

At its core, the project asks how living close to others can remain generous, informal, and grounded, and how small-scale housing can contribute to a shared landscape rather than fragment it.
