Combining The Indoors With The Outdoors

Combining the indoors with the outdoors, this Mykonos holiday home is both a refuge from the elements and idyllic sanctuary that brings one closer to nature

Sitting on the ridge of the hill of Aleomandra in Mykonos yet almost entirely hidden from view, Villa Mandra by architecture and interior design firm K-Studio looks straight out to sea and the sunset over the neighbouring island of Delos. A six-bedroom holiday house built for a young, dynamic couple to enjoy with their family and friends, it celebrates its spectacular view from a grounded viewpoint blended into a sensitively landscaped, stone-walled garden that screens it from the road behind.

The house is built upon the idea of slow, laid-back summer living, and encourages mindful connection with family, friends and the freedom to exist peacefully in nature. Form follows emotion rather than function, as every space becomes another opportunity for rest, reflection and exploration.
