The project responds to the site\u2019s hybrid character, a mainland setting with strong cultural and spatial ties to the nearby island, through a language that combines robustness and refinement, enclosure and openness.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The house is embedded into the natural slope of the site, minimizing its visual impact while preserving the existing topography. Its architectural expression reflects dual identities: the grounded materiality of stonework associated with rural mainland structures and the white plaster surfaces characteristic of island architecture. The lower level is built from rough river <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/marble-and-stone-design\/\">stone<\/a><\/strong>, anchoring the residence to its immediate context, while the upper volume employs textured white plaster, referencing the luminous facades of Cycladic and Saronic settlements. Despite its two-story structure, the residence maintains a discreet presence, integrated into the hillside.<\/p>\n<p>Casa Incognita sits along the Peloponnese coastline near Porto Heli | all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/pierisarchitects.com\/\">Pieris Architects<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Casa Incognita\u2019s layered form opens toward sea and landscape<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The spatial arrangement is defined by openness toward the sea and layered connections with the landscape. The ground floor functions as the social heart of the house, with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Large glazed openings extend views across the water and establish continuity between interior spaces, the swimming pool, and outdoor lounge areas. A second aperture opens to an internal courtyard, offering a quieter, enclosed atmosphere. Auxiliary functions are integrated into the slope, maintaining the clarity of the built form. The upper level contains three en-suite bedrooms, each oriented toward natural light and views of the surrounding environment. A sculptural wooden staircase links the two levels and provides a vertical transition within the home. A separate guest wing is positioned along a garden pathway, accommodating two additional bedrooms and a shared bathroom. This configuration allows for guest privacy while maintaining proximity to the main living areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Casa Incognita by Pieris Architects <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pierisarchitects.com\/\">Studio<\/a><\/strong> demonstrates an architectural approach that prioritizes restraint, contextual awareness, and integration with the landscape. Through its material palette, spatial sequence, and dialogue with topography, the residence articulates a balanced response to its coastal location between mainland and island.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>designed by Pieris Architects, the house extends naturally from the terrain<\/p>\n<p>the residence looks across the water toward the island of Spetses<\/p>\n<p>stone and white plaster express contrasting yet complementary architectural languages<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the house is embedded into the slope to reduce visual impact<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>a sheltered courtyard provides a quiet counterpoint<\/p>\n<p>despite two stories, the house maintains a discreet presence<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>glazed openings connect interiors with pool and lounge areas<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the design references both rural barns and island dwellings<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>a guest wing, reached through a garden path, offers privacy<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>Casa Incognita balances architecture and landscape with contextual restraint<\/p>\n<p>open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow together<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong> Casa Incognita<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pierisarchitects.com\/\">Pieris Architects<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pieris.architects\/\">@pieris.architects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Peloponnese, Porto Heli, Greece<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><span class=\"s1\">DIY submissions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><span class=\"s1\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/pieris-architects-layered-stone-plaster-residence-greek-hillside-casa-incognita-08-31-2025\/\">pieris architects embeds layered stone-and-plaster residence into greek hillside<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pieris Architects\u2019 Casa Incognita blends stone and white plaster \u00a0 Located along the Peloponnese coastline near Porto Heli, Greece, opposite the island of Spetses, Casa Incognita by Pieris Architects is a private residence designed as &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
