Before us stands an exquisite example of Mediterranean rural architecture — a stone cottage harmoniously integrated into the surrounding landscape. The façade is constructed of natural stone in sandy-ochre hues with characteristic irregular masonry, creating a sense of authenticity and connection to local building traditions.
The architectural composition presents an asymmetrical structure with multiple levels and a sloped terracotta tile roof. Particularly expressive are the wooden elements: light olive-colored window shutters that effectively contrast with the stone texture of the walls, and wooden eaves under the roof that emphasize the rustic character of the building.
The façade is enriched with arched elements in the lower part of the house, a classic technique in Mediterranean architecture. An external staircase is organically integrated into the overall composition, creating an additional volumetric accent. The chimney with a terracotta cap completes the architectural appearance, adding a vertical element to the predominantly horizontal composition.
The same approach is evident in the landscaping: a stone terrace with an open dining area, zoned through various levels and materials, becomes a natural extension of the house's architecture. Cypress trees in the background and olive trees along the perimeter enhance the Mediterranean atmosphere.
For contemporary façade design, this building offers several valuable techniques: the use of local natural materials, contrasting textures (stone and wood), color harmony with the surrounding nature, integration of external spaces into the building's architecture, and an asymmetrical composition that appears natural and organic.
