The outsiders: we’ve assembled the perfect patio posse at our neat Greek retreat
At this summer bolthole on the Greek island of Euboea, ‘the outdoor spaces became the driving force for the design’, says young Athens-based architect Natalia Kokosalaki. A tall stone wall, extruded from the house’s main volume and built with material found on site, creates privacy and features storage and seating niches. Stone, raw concrete and white rendered walls makes for a balanced composition, while eco credentials
include photovoltaic roof panels and rainwater collection.
Here we put together the perfect patio furnishings, ready to recline in the sun and become delightfully disconnected...
