Nikos Koukourakis designed this luxury residence for a client in Dionysos, 23 km northeast of Athens. The modern house uses straight lines and big openings enable the natural light to travel through every space of the house, reducing the amount of energy needed to illuminate the house. Furthermore the house was designed and built according to ‘’green architectural choices of materials used, as well as using a cutting-edge home automation system to enable every feature to be controlled by a single control panel. The continuous optical dialogue between the inside and the outside is achieved by the 3.50m (each panel) sliding windows that appear in the main elevation. The house was first designed in every detail in a computer 3-D model, which allowed to have a better understanding of the building’s interaction with the environment.
The building dominates with its clean-cut lines, while its volume is split, without being dissolved, from the rich perimetric openings giving to it an airy sense via to their exposure to natural light. The big glass surfaces leave a permanently open dialogue with the outside, without creating the least sense of isolation with the luxury interior of the house.

Khosla Associates have designed the Cliff House in Chowara, a fishing village in Kerala, India. The luxury home is elegantly perched 200 ft. above an expansive stretch of green along the Arabian Sea coast, at the edge of a cliff, its most prominent feature is an asymmetrical sloping roof set against the fronds of a coconut plantation. Opening its embrace to the warm sea breezes, the home covers an area of 1397 sqm. Luxury furniture and accessories are kept to a minimal, so that the focus doesn’t stray from the natural environment.
The client lives in London and commissioned the house as a holiday home to enjoy the Kerala sun, the views, and requested for a large outdoor pool, several decks and meditation areas. He was keen to use local artisans and material and his empathy towards the active fishing community in Chowara prompted his decision to buy a plot of land that had some distance from the beach. The structural engineering was completed by Manjunath & Co, the contemporary landscaping by Hariyalee Consultants, luxury interior design by Khosla Associates and the photography by Bharath Ramamrutham (photos, courtesy Khosla Associates).
