In one of the most beautiful beaches of Pilio, Greece, Damouhari, which is the only natural harbor on the south side of Pelion, is a breathtaking country house.





The property belonged to a family that lived for years in the area and built it for personal use, without any specific architecture, in the 1940s.









It consisted of two single rooms, a dining area and a communal wc, accessible from the courtyard.





It is a cluster of spaces, with their back to the sea, for protection from damp and waves.





Located below and beside the rock, it creates an internal courtyard between the spaces and the rock. The unique landscape and its location are the ones that led to its reuse as a holiday home, with the infrastructure now combining comfort and luxury, but at the same time offering an ascetic atmosphere.





The Genius loci [The spirit of the place] was the basic principle of design by the architectural firm Urban Soul Project. It included the conversion of the larger space into a room with a wc and a loft for accommodating two people while the second room was also wc.
