Sterna Nisyros Residence is a restoration project carried out by i.landarchitects & Dolihos architects in 2014. A simple geometry was the right approach for dealing with a difficult, steep terrain. The home is located in Emporeios, Nisyros, Kos, Greece. The house is a two-storey building that covers an area of 128 sqm .
The ground floor is an open room where the kitchen, the living room and a working space are found. The restoration owes its high level and preciseness to the research of photographic archives and to the few but significant structural and morphological findings of the excavation. The interiors are minimalist, with a color palette in white and gray, inspiring space and neatness. With a spectacular contrast between the white ceiling beams and the stone walls, the open-plan kitchen and dining area is the design highlight of the house. Restoring the authentic architecture of the building was achieved thanks to following the traditional building manner and using the genuine building materials. In the first floor, there are two spacious bedrooms and the bathroom. The house also features a 110 sqm outdoor living space consisted of a 40 sqm terrace with a big dining table and a 70 sqm rooftop lounge area.
