An outdoor home theater, a curved infinity pool, and 3,164 square feet of living space are all included in Cronos.
Even though it appears to be plucked from the future, this villa in Greece is steeped in architectural tradition.
Cronus, a modern, disc-shaped house built on the island of Antiparos, is inspired by the circular walls that protect lemon trees in the Mediterranean from the elements.
The picturesque villa, designed by Athens-based DECA Architects, has been partially submerged in the ground while still offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the rugged mountains surrounding it. In addition to being super secluded, the island villa is $7.5 million (€7.5 million). The closest property is almost a kilometer away, listing agent Despina Laou told Mansion Global.
Cronus is set on a sloping terrain, so entering it requires disappearing into the ground for a moment. As soon as you enter the upper-level living spaces, designed by L’Elephant Interiors Portugal, you will be flooded with light. The six bedrooms and nine bathrooms have been decorated with local textiles and art to give the place a genuine Grecian feel. Using bi-fold doors, the interior lounge area is connected to the outside terraces, creating the illusion of one cohesive space.
Natural materials such as stone, bamboo, and exposed concrete were used in the construction of the 3,164-square-foot house. Additionally, the home was designed to cope with changing weather conditions. For instance, the stone roof provides shade from the harsh sun. Furthermore, large bamboo panels protect residents from the wind as well as vegetation.
According to the listing, there are a number of killer amenities, as well, including an outdoor home theater and an infinity pool that feels as if you are falling into the ocean. In the center of Cronos is a courtyard with a lemon tree that celebrates its architectural heritage in an artful way.
