The NCaved is a residence lodged into the slope of a hill in Serifos Island, Greece. The residence, created by Mold Architects, looks like a 3-dimensional chess board from an aerial view. With three levels housing the living areas, bedrooms, and guesthouse, the home is able to combine functionality with its unique location and design:
Designed to spoil its visitors with uninterrupted vistas of its surroundings, NCaved’s views from the open sea-front terraces and pool area are generous. Moving deeper into the home, towards the hill’s ascent, we are treated with interior spaces that are punctuated by small patios and pathways that draw our eyes towards the sky.
NCaved’s three levels house the living areas, bedrooms and guesthouse, a series of atypical spaces that are connected to each other by an external staircase running down the length of the slope. Dressed in a material and color palette inspired by its seaside location – stone, exposed concrete, wooden slats, metal and glass – the interiors are kept minimal yet elegant, subdued in the face of such natural beauty. A contemporary home in a rustic setting, this is a dwelling that rightfully lets nature take the reins in dictating its presence in this incredible Greek isle.
