The island was even described by Homer in ancient times. Its backbone
culminates in a peak 1,628m high, in the midst of the Ionian Sea. Seen
from the mainland, it surges out of the blue depths in an intense light,
often coiffed with a veil of clouds. So when the opportunity arose to
build a house facing this spectacle, the choice was obvious. The subject
would of course be the island, framed by the house. From the initial
sketches until its completion, the plans were developed around the view.
From the terraces, the sitting room, the dining room, kitchen, bedrooms
and bathrooms, the living space was oriented towards this fascinating
seascape, which the architecture emphasizes, making it even more
theatrical.
