Villa Ousia sits on a hillside above Pitsidia, Greece, where Paly Architects condense a house into three offset volumes shaped by stone, earth-toned plaster, and glass. The arrangement pivots around a pool and a pair of pergolas, threading the rooms to outdoor life while softening wind and sun. Built between 2023 and 2025, the residence reads as concise and deliberate, with local materials setting the tone indoors and out.
Located in Athens, Greece, House in Kifisia is a two-story residence designed in 2021 by the renowned Paly Architects.
The property is set on a corner plot in Kifisia, a modern, affluent suburb of Athens that is known for its picturesque parks, gardens and landmarks. The house is designed with a contemporary style, boasting an ‘U’ shape design, semi-open spaces, large windows, and a water element to create a subtle dialogue between open and closed spaces, private and public. High-quality materials like white walls, wooden floors, white metals, natural anodization on the frames, grey plates, and stone from Markopoulo are used to bring the design to life, with planting of Greek flowers and trees providing the finishing touches.
Perched near Cape Koutoulos’ summit, this luxury vacation home designed by Paly Architects melds with the wild terrain. Earthy materials shape it, and it stands shielded from the north wind. The home boasts southern views of the Cretan Sea.
