A Home Carved Into the Rocks of Mykonos | Aimasia Residence

Discover the breathtaking Aimasia Residence, a contemporary villa in Mykonos that emerges from the rocky hillside, seamlessly blending ancient tradition with modern design. Located near Elia Beach and designed by A31 Architecture in collaboration with Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio, this eight-hundred-and-fifty-square-meter home redefines luxury through raw materials, sculptural curves, and sustainable construction techniques.

Built around a sixty-two-meter-long granite wall—originally part of the Cycladic agricultural landscape—Aimasia Residence honors the past while embracing a bold architectural future. From green roofs planted with native vegetation to board-formed concrete walls and sliding glass doors that open to the Aegean Sea, every detail reflects harmony with nature and place.

Inside, the home features custom furniture by Tom Dixon, curved stone bathrooms, and unique lighting prototypes. The layout includes multiple guest suites, a gym, a wine cellar, and serene terraces with infinity pools—offering indoor-outdoor living at its finest.

This is not just a house. It’s a sanctuary carved into the landscape—where every material and gesture is rooted in Greek heritage and designed for contemporary living.

  • THE TOY BOX

    – The client: I need a “toy store to store toys”
    – ji study: “We create a space that EVERYTHING IS A TOY !!”
    The project is intended for the youngest clients we have had:
    3 and 5 years. These mini-clients do not demand great needs, only places,
    spaces, colors and imaginative experiences.
    That is why we decided to make the leap of designing the furniture that we were commissioned
    to make a “mega furniture” that in itself is the toy and also
    The toy box.
    We had a very interesting volume in one of the bedrooms of
    a building built in the 40’s where we obtained the great advantage and
    opportunity to have a height of 4 meters free.
    This mega-furniture is based, in its concept, on a poplar wood fold
    that surrounds the space and creates volumes according to the places we wanted
    give them:
    – beds in line with nest beds below
    – stairs
    – yellow play tunnel with hemispheres and networks
    – benches
    – blackboards on walls and furniture
    – fun and sliding chairs
    – A desk table representing a sun
    – Lights like moons or stars
    – High and low storage
    In short, it is a space if a specific purpose, timeless
    and with the values ​​of IMAGINE, DISCOVER, INVEST, UP, DOWN,
    SKIP…
