Greece Dream Home Carved into the Hillside
The Slot House by Katerina Valsamaki Architects is more than a residence—it’s a vision of quiet architecture that merges with the landscape. Positioned on a steep slope in Tinos, Greece, the house captures the vast Aegean panorama while sinking into the earth for shelter and privacy.
Crafted from rough stone and smooth travertine-like concrete, the materials echo the island’s texture and palette. A long canopy stretches across the living space, framing the view and creating shaded outdoor zones that blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Inside, clean surfaces, natural light, and a raw wood dining table reflect a pared-back, timeless design.
From the green roof to the linear pool that mirrors the horizon, every detail in this home serves one goal: to inhabit beauty without disturbing it. This is a place where architecture listens, adapts, and disappears into the landscape—an ideal retreat for those who seek peace, silence, and endless views.
