Stone House Surrounded by Olive Groves | Peloponnese House

Discover the Peloponnese Rural House, a stunning retreat built for a young nature-loving family in the remote Greek village of Kalamia. Designed to blend into the hillside and echo the traditional stone stables of the Peloponnese, this two-level concrete and stone home offers breathtaking views of the Gulf of Corinth and a seamless connection to nature.

Set on a sloped site surrounded by olive groves, the house features large openings for natural light and ventilation, handcrafted materials, and a minimalist aesthetic that reflects monastic simplicity. With outdoor living spaces, inner courtyards, and custom-made finishes, this sustainable home redefines rural living with elegance and restraint.

In this video, we walk you through the design strategies, natural textures, and spatial solutions that make this house both grounded and poetic—an ideal example of sustainable, context-sensitive architecture.

Primary social spaces are located on the top floor where the view is best and where kitchen, dining and living flow seamlessly together in one loft-like space. Private functions — sleeping and bathing — occur on the second level screened from the street. The ground floor contains entry, garage and an opening through the house, front to back — a covered exterior gathering space that frames the view of water and mountain for the passerby at the street.
