Kapsimalis Architects builds imposing summer house in Santorini

House in Pyrgos is a fortress-style holiday home covered with earth-toned plaster built by Kapsimalis Architects on the Greek island of Santorini.
Set on a sloping site, House in Pyrgos is surrounded by vineyards and faces the Aegean Sea. Its angular, projecting form is designed to recall a rocky outcrop and the fortifications of the Greek island's old castles.
"All pieces of the architectural history of the island, subtly combined and embedded in the monolithic structure," said Kapsimalis
