Latypi Residence: Embracing Cycladic Tradition in Modern Design
Nestled in the heart of Choulakia, Mykonos, Greece, a stone’s throw from the serene Delos and Rineia islands, the Latypi Residence is an architectural marvel. Designed by the renowned A31 Architecture, this contemporary house balances the elegance of modern design with the beauty of Mykonos’ famed Cycladic landscape.
The residence is crafted into a generous 4000m2 plot with a significant slope and a stunning southward orientation. The home’s above-ground section spans 120m2 (about 1,292 ft2), while a further 130m2 (about 1,399 ft2) is carefully tucked beneath the ground. In line with age-old Greek practices, the outdoor space is the heart of this two-story dwelling.
Latypi Residence is a masterstroke in design and place-making, effortlessly merging with the natural Mykonian landscape and remaining largely unseen from the street, a testament to its sublime integration.
