Our Approach to Architecture in the Greek Isles

Davidov Architects is captivated by the timeless beauty of the Greek Isles, where architecture seamlessly merges with breathtaking natural landscapes. Known for their whitewashed houses, narrow streets, and stunning views of the Aegean Sea, the Greek Isles offer a unique setting for crafting homes that reflect both tradition and modernity.

The architecture of the Greek Isles is defined by simplicity and harmony with nature. From the iconic Cycladic houses of Mykonos and Santorini to the more rustic dwellings on islands like Paros and Naxos, these homes are designed to withstand the harsh island climate while embracing the stunning coastal vistas and bright Mediterranean light.

Why Davidov Architects?

Davidov Architects brings a deep respect for local tradition and history when approaching projects in the Greek Isles. Our design philosophy blends the island’s architectural heritage with modern sensibilities, creating homes that are both timeless and functional, yet sensitive to their surroundings.

Key to our designs in the Greek Isles is the seamless integration of the natural landscape. We use natural materials such as stone and timber, inspired by the local vernacular, to create homes that harmonize with the environment while offering modern comforts. Whether nestled into the hillside or perched on a cliffside with panoramic views, our designs prioritize indoor-outdoor living and take full advantage of the Mediterranean climate.

We are committed to preserving the character of the local architecture while introducing subtle, contemporary touches. Flat roofs, thick walls, and shaded outdoor spaces feature prominently in our designs, all of which are essential to the island lifestyle and climate. Sustainability also plays a central role, with energy-efficient systems, solar power, and passive cooling integrated into each project to minimize the environmental footprint.

Davidov Architects collaborates closely with clients throughout every stage of the design and construction process to ensure that each home in the Greek Isles captures the essence of island living. Our approach emphasizes creating elegant, serene spaces that reflect the beauty and tranquillity of the islands while meeting the needs of modern life.

We are proud to have completed several notable projects across the world, including the LPS Residence, and the EPSC Residence.
