CAVE HOUSE IS A NATURAL EXTENSION OF THE ISLANDS TOPOGRAPHY
Cave House in Milos is a digitally forged sanctuary that fuses with the organic beauty of the Greek landscape. In the untouched landscape of Milos, the residence emerges as a natural extension of the island’s unique topography. The project is a virtual collaboration between visual artist George Kroustallis of Minorstep and 3D designer Alvaro Polo, that draws from Greek heritage and the island’s geological features.
The concept stems from a profound respect for the island’s natural rock formations and a desire to explore architecture as an organic extension of the landscape. The proposal aims to challenge traditional architectural norms by integrating the built environment seamlessly with nature, offering a new perspective on spatial design.
Cave House is digitally conceived using advanced 3D modeling software, incorporating real-world geological data from Milos to ensure an authentic connection with the landscape. The design process involves iterative simulations to test the structural integrity and aesthetic coherence of the concept. Special emphasis is placed on ‘sculpting’ the rock, virtually digging into it to create the architectural forms.
