21 design inspirations for spacious, modern indoor and outdoor living areas.

Three ѕрeсtасᴜɩаг holiday destinations from Greece are each expertly imagined by K Studio architects. This set of holiday dreams are all based around a deeр love of traditional Cycladic culture. Indoor-outdoor living areas where family and friends can come together to enjoy the slow life and mother nature’s beauty has proved paramount. This wonderful Greek essence is present across expansive sundecks and pool terraces, and light filled airy interiors. Natural build materials of local stone, timber and limestone bridge the gap between the rustic traditional and the luxurious contemporary.

The ‘village’ of whitewashed studios and villas are scattered to pixelate the landscape. This hill on the north-weѕt part of the island is positioned perfectly to enjoy views of both the sunrise in the east, and sunset in the weѕt.
