Monolithic Sculptural Holiday Homes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Kapsimalis Architects Designs a Stunning Four-Bedroom Dwelling

— May 11, 2022 — Art & Design
A sculptural holiday home adorns the landscape of Finikia—a village located on the Greek island of Santorini. The dwelling boasts four bedrooms and it features curved interiors and minimalist contemporary furniture. The exterior, on the other hand, features intriguing geometric shapes that are "clad in earth-colored cement." Kapsimalis Architects, the local studio behind the development, played around with the idea of privacy, encircling the main living quarters with high walls. It also orchestrated "an angular arrangement of yards and patios."

The sculptural holiday home has been described as a "man-made monolith" and Kapsimalis Architects drew inspiration from "the concept of a large piece of volcanic rock that has been eroded over centuries to carve out spaces" for the striking design.

Trend Themes
1. Monolithic Architecture - There is an opportunity to disrupt the architecture industry by designing more monolithic structures inspired by natural elements such as volcanic rocks that are eroded over centuries.
2. Sculptural Homes - The trend of creating sculptural homes is on the rise, and architects should explore ways to integrate geometric shapes and surfaces, along with contemporary minimalist furniture.
3. Privacy Design - Privacy is an important aspect of architecture, and there is an opportunity to innovate by exploring new ways of designing high walls and angular arrangements of yards and patios.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Innovative architecture firms can create stunning buildings that integrate natural and geometric elements, as well as privacy design to create world-class holiday homes.
2. Furniture Design - There is an opportunity for furniture designers to create contemporary minimalist furniture that complements sculptural holiday homes and integrates well with their unique design features.
3. Real Estate - Real estate firms can capitalize on the trend of sculptural holiday homes by investing in unique properties that offer privacy and stunning architecture, and marketing them to travelers seeking a one-of-a-kind vacation experience.
