Text description provided by the architects. The location of the project is characteristic of the southern coast of the Regional District of Chania in Crete, the White Mountains towering over the place to the north, and the Libyan Sea opening wide as if infinite to the south of it. The mountains disintegrate moving towards the sea as rocky gorges and gullies. One of these dry gullies runs through the project's plot, meeting a larger one later on that ends in a hidden beach. Such as the topography of the site is, it calls out for a play with the precipice, even the concept of the gully. Meanwhile, the southern Crete climate, hot and dry, forms a barren natural landscape, dominated by thyme, oregano, and dry bushes, on top of which the region's cultivating tradition creates grids of olive trees. Some of these spread into the building plot.
