A Retro Video Game As Inspiration For This Island House In Greece | Tetris House

ByMyProperty Life

Discover the Tetris House by ARP – Architecture Research Practice, a striking minimalist home on the Greek island of Antiparos that turns an abandoned concrete frame into a serene modern retreat. Surrounded by native vegetation and a protected forest, this house stands out for its clean geometry, calm atmosphere, and deep connection with the landscape.

Designed around a central courtyard and pool, the home creates a peaceful private world that blends openness and intimacy. L-shaped and rectangular volumes fit together like pieces of a puzzle, framing views, shadows, and reflections of water and sky. Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass, white walls, and local stone bring light and texture into harmony.

Sustainable at its core, Tetris House uses passive cooling, photovoltaic panels, and native plants to reduce environmental impact. Every element — from the rooftop terrace to the shaded patios — celebrates simplicity and precision.

A quiet yet powerful example of contemporary architecture in the Cyclades, where geometry, light, and nature come together in perfect balance.

    Casa Altanera is located in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, México. The lot has an area of ​​2,500m2, with minimum slope. It was established as a natural and essential order of the project to follow up on the reforestation process of the area, contributing to the regenerative process that we find in our context. A single-family housing scheme was developed, contained in three separate operating modules, distributed among social areas and two pieces that interact independently, solving a program of areas for a master bedroom for two people and four secondary rooms for eight people, including your individual and shared service areas. The interaction with the exterior was proposed through the areas that develop in the palapa. The dining room, the kitchen, the living room, the deck, and the pool, are linked together in a common space, while each unfolds from its movable facade of wooden doors, resolving climate relationships independently and sustainably. The most intimate and contemplative connection happens in the pieces of concrete and wood that contain the rooms, suggesting a protected, safe place, in which, each inhabitant would individually define the type of link with its immediate exterior, from its reading of the place.
