N'arrow House, a new architectural venture by Mykonos Architects, is underway in Crete, Greece, expected to complete between 2025 and 2027. This captivating wedge-shaped residence harmonizes with its natural surroundings while reinterpreting Mediterranean architectural traditions. Its design, featuring a tapering form, strong environmental considerations, and eco-friendly materials like concrete and stone, emphasizes sustainability. The semi-subterranean structure capitalizes on the local climate to enhance interior comfort, providing a modern twist on ancient Greek cave dwellings. The homeâs layout fosters a seamless flow of spaces, showcasing minimalism and a striking visual harmony with the rugged landscape.
N'arrow House derives its name from its unique shape - a long, tapering structure that comes to a precise point, evoking the image of an arrow lodged in the earth.
The design nods to the ancient cave dwellings found throughout Greece, yet reinterprets them with a contemporary, angular aesthetic.
The semi-subterranean layout offers an eco-friendly response to Crete's warm Mediterranean climate, helping regulate interior temperatures and minimizing the need for artificial cooling.
Constructed from exposed concrete, steel framing, and expansive floor-to-ceiling glass panels, the home's materials create a bold contrast with the surrounding landscape.
